How to Grow Old Gracefully
U.S. residents might be living longer these days, but more and more Americans have chronic diseases, such as diabetes, which decrease their lifespan and boost medical costs. Some 133 million adults - almost half the adult population - have some type of chronic health condition, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
With such staggering statistics, you might think illness and impairment are synonymous with aging. But experts say old age need not be marked by disease and disability. Older adults can take action, even well into their 60s and 70s, to reduce the risk of developing chronic disease and avoid injury. "I think the old myth was somehow after age 60, 65, there's just nothing you can do anymore," said Margaret Moore, a public health advisor for the CDC's Healthy Aging Program. But really, "there are lots of things you can do to improve your function [and] your health well into older age," she said. Among the beneficial behaviors: Exercise, stretching, preventative measures such as flu shots and disease screening, and even a generally optimistic outlook on life. "There's certainly going to be some changes that occur with getting older," Moore said, "but it doesn't have to mean disability, it doesn't have to mean disease."

「私は老齢の根拠の無い説は,何故か60,65才の後と考え,それ以上あなたができることは全く何もない」とCDSの健康的老化プログラムの公衆衛生相談員 Margaret Mooreは述べた.「ほんとうだろうか? 老年におけるあなたの機能およびよりよい健康を改善するためにあなたができる多くのことがある」と彼女は述べた.恩恵を与えるような行動.(すなわち)運動,ストレッチング,インフルエンザの注射および病気のスクリーニングのような予防手段,更に人生における一般的に楽天的な態度「確かに年をとることに伴う幾つかの変化がありそうである.」とMooreは述べた.「しかし,それは能力障害,不健全な状態を意味しない」
