A Health Portal Just For Seniors

Isn't it amazing how challenging it can be to find reliable, health-related information on the Web tailored especially to people your age? That's why you'll be happy to know that Uncle Sam has put together quite a comprehensive web site that covers just about every health related topic of interest to senior citizens. It's called NIHSeniorHealth and was developed by The National Institute on Aging and The National Library of Medicine.



From the site:
NIHSeniorHealth features authoritative and up-to-date health information from Institutes and Centers at NIH. In addition, the American Geriatrics Society provides expert and independent review of some of the material found on this web site. Each health topic includes general background information, open-captioned videos, quizzes and frequently asked questions (FAQs). New topics are added to the site on a regular basis.


Here are just some of the topics you'll learn more about when you visit this health portal for seniors:


  • Alzheimer's Disease
  • Caring for Someone with Alzheimer's
  • Cataract
  • Falls and Older Adults
  • Sleep and Aging
  • Talking with Your Doctor

If you're looking for quality senior health information on the Internet, you'll likely find it at NIHSeniorHealth.
