ATLANTA (AP) — U.S. health officials want all baby boomers to get tested for hepatitis C.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday released draft recommendations calling for all baby boomers to get a one-time blood test for the liver disease. That’s everyone born from 1945 to 1965.

The hepatitis C virus is most commonly spread through sharing needles to inject drugs. Before 1992, it was also spread through blood transfusions.

The CDC says more than 2 million baby boomers are infected. They account for more than three-quarters of all Americans living with the virus. The virus can take decades to cause damage and many people don’t know they are infected.

The testing recommendation is expected to become final later this year.

Baby boomer living: Age-friendly communities: “Everybody Get Together”

May 17th, 2012 -- Posted in Diabetes | No Comments »

Visit www.MindYourBody.tv with Stephanie Stephens for more how-to video episodes, audio podcasts and blogs on female baby boomer health and lifestyle topics, created especially for you.

In 2007, Los Angeles public relations professional and aging advocate Barbara Meltzer told NBC’s chief medical editor, Nancy Snyderman, about a fear millions of baby boomers share with her. My guest for today’s video, Meltzer said she’s worried because she isn’t married and doesn’t have children. Like many of us—and that includes me—she wonders who will “take care of her” when she can’t manage her basic needs.

Childless female numbers are growing. According to a 2010 Pew Research Center study, nearly one-in-five American women ends her childbearing years without having borne a child, compared with one-in-ten in the 1970s.

“Watching over my own mother for eight years pushed every fear button,” Meltzer told me before the video interview you see here. She has channeled her fear into positive action, implementing a busy “50+” division at her p.r. firm. She chairs the communications committee for the Los Angeles County Commission for Older Adults (LACCOA), and has produced a half-day symposium for the city entitled “Pathways to Positive Aging: Creating Communities for a Lifetime.”

What We’ll Need

No man or woman is an island, made readily apparent as we age and can no longer function as we did earlier in life. We need help. Enter the concept of age-friendly communities, a place where we live and we die. They’re places, says Meltzer, with resources including accessible transportation, affordable housing and opportunities for both civic engagement and lifelong learning—a busy brain is a happier, healthier brain.

Rather than sit back and wait for “the perfect place” to materialize, Meltzer says we boomers need to become proactive, defining what we will need and taking steps now to ensure our needs are fulfilled.

It Takes a Village

AARP data verify that 90 percent of us want to stay in our homes when we age. Look around you at seniors who echo that same sentiment daily as the thought of “a facility” puts terror in their hearts.

One positive solution: The Village model. This grassroots effort materialized in Boston’s Beacon Hill neighborhood in 2001. Neighbors joined together to develop services so older adults could stay at home, in their community. The sensible, practical concept has since been replicated nationwide in more than 100 active or developing communities where members pay reasonable annual dues in the range of $400 to $700 and avail themselves of numerous services and amenities.

Enjoy Barbara Meltzer’s insights here on Mind Your Body TV.

Hearing Health TV Public Service Announcement

May 5th, 2012 -- Posted in Diabetes | No Comments »

The New York Eye and Ear Infirmary recently created a Public Service Announcement (PSA) to raise awareness about hearing loss among baby boomers.

Filmed by Fabrizio Ferri, a leading videographer and photographer, the PSA features Chris Botti on trumpet, with a voiceover by Sting. These celebrities took time from their busy schedules and donated their considerable talents because they believe in the importance of our message: Baby boomers need to take control of their hearing health before it’s too late.
