Now that we're closer to 2050 than 2000, how will that affect the generation now coming of age? https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/29/japan/society/japan-2050-predections-depopulation/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #society #depopulation #aging #demographics #teens #elderly #comingofageday #lifeexpectancy #rurallife #women039sissues

Are you an older adult who is interested in telling stories? Are you comfortable with computers, and interested in learning new ways to use technology to create exciting multimedia content? Would you like to tell stories that change people’s minds about what older adults are capable of? If you answered yes, then take part in a University of Manitoba research study exploring the effects of creating interactive stories on older adults' ideas about agism.

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of premature death in the EU.
️Yet, many can be prevented.
🫀 Our Safe Hearts Plan will enable people to better care for their heart’s health by improving prevention, detection, and treatment.
Learn what’s in it 👉🏽 https://link.europa.eu/WHBnXh
@EUCommission, looks like a step in good direction!
Also, remember that many (most?) heart diseases are caused by #aging. Like stiffening of vasculature by misfolded proteins. To eliminante most of them, we need means to reverse aging damage. Ultimately, doing it in several body systems we can postpone onset of old age diseases indefinitely. That would be an ultimate health!

We always talk about things that get worse with #Aging - but what about the things that get better? For example I feel that people become more confident and able to make faster decisions, especially about what they like or want to do. Can you think of anything else that improves with aging?

Alzheimer's trials testing Novo Nordisk’s blockbuster GLP-1 drug semaglutide, despite their failure, underscore a shift to approaching the brain-wasting disease as a system of complex pathways. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/12/world/science-health/alzheimers-trials-shift-approach/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #sciencehealth #aging #dementia #alzheimer039s #pharmaceuticals #medicine #eisai #novonordisk
Happy to share that that our article on older adults and tax delegation in Canada is published! See comment for important takeaway about what you should do if you help older adults (or anyone) by doing tax prep and filing for them. #aging #taxes
Takeaway: Get a CRA RepID if you help out older folks (or anyone) by preparing and filing their taxes. This is available to anyone (not just accountants), so the people you help don't need to share CRA passwords with you!
