Well, looks like everyone is working to get on the aging population bandwagon.
Even the WHO (Who is the WHO exactly anyway?) is working on policies for active aging and making cities more “age friendly. Here’s a few excerpts from the study:
Active ageing policy is defined as “optimizing opportunities for health, participation and security in order to enhance quality of life as people age.â€
yep – that’s logical.
The active ageing approach is grounded in the UN-recognized principles of independence, participation, dignity, care and self-fulfilment.
The UN is involved?
It acknowledges the importance of gender, earlier life experiences, and culture on how individuals age. It takes into account the biological, psychological, behavioural, economic, social and environmental factors that operate over the course of a person’s life to determine health and well-being in later years.
What’s all that suppose to mean anyway?
Some times these involved studies read more like things from people who just like to hear themselves talk rather than anything useful. What do you think?
You can see the whole WHO Report here if your interested.
I recently found this blog Fat Old Artist (great title) and also this post. It is a bit dated in reference to John McCain.
But it still poses what I think is a valid question that we should all give some more thought to the women’s movement rights and factors surrounding it in politics.
I recently read an article in the news about Nancy Regan and the fact she broke her pelvis.
I did  the same thing a while back. I did not fall at home.
My foot caught in a raised sidewalk, what I  found interesting is that she is spending serveral days in the hospital.
I spent two days and had to be proactive to get that.
I’m wondering if her injuries are more than the press are telling us or is it because she is a former first lady.
I believe we all deserve proper health care no matter what age, gender, color so on.
Just a thought.
