Ten Keys To Healthy

(NAPS) What is lon-
gevity without health?
Adults today are looking
not only to extend their
lives, but to enjoy their
extra years. Researchers at
the University of Pitts-
burgh's Center for Healthy
Aging simplified the bar-
rage of health messages
aimed at older adults to
create the 10 Keys to
Healthy Aging. The Cen-
ter is promoting these sen-
sible strategies for a long,
healthy life among resi-
dents of Pittsburgh, and
they hope to share them
across the country. Alle-
gheny County in western
Pennsylvania has one of
the highest concentrations
of adults aged 65 years
and older, second only to
Dade County, Florida.
Years of research
yielded these keys:
* Prevent bone loss
and muscle weakness
* Control blood pres-
sure
* Increase physical
activity
* Regulate blood
sugar
* Stop smoking
* Maintain social
contact
* Participate in
screening for cancer
* Get regular immu-
nizations
* Lower cholesterol
* Combat depres-
sion.
Dr. Constance
Bayles, director of the
center, says these strate-
gies can help people take
charge of their health and
delay or prevent disease
and injury as well as speed
recovery time.
Empowering older
adults is one of our many
mission's Dr. Bayles said.
While some keys
seem basic, such as main-
taining social contact, ac-
tivity can become difficult
as adults age and become
less mobile, she said. Part
of the center's work is to
help seniors access re-
sources for social contact,
physical activity, transpor-
tation and other needs.
The Center for
Healthy Aging is a Pre-
vention Research Center
(PRC) in a network of 33
academic centers the fed-
eral Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention
funds. Each PRC works
closely with a local com-
munity to design effective
interventions. Nine PRCs
belong to a Healthy Aging
Network that collaborates
on the best ways to pro-
mote health for older
adults and transform re-
search results into sustain-
able community programs.
The University of
Washington's Health Pro-
motion Research Center
(HPRC), for example, de-
veloped Enhance Fitness,
a physical activity curricu-
lum for older adults that
improves flexibility and
strength and is shown to
reduce hospital visits by
participants. The program
is now offered at 92 sites
in nine states. The HPRC
also developed a counsel-
ing program that reduces
minor depression in sen-
iors.

Medicare Paying For
Preventive Aneurysm
Screening For First Time
(NAPS)NHundreds of
thousands of Americans
who receive Medicare
benefits now have access to
an important tool for fight-
ing vascular disease: a free
abdominal aortic aneurysm
(AAA) screening. AAA is a
bulge in the wall of the
aorta and exists in an esti-
mated 2 million Americans.
AAA rupture is one of the
leading causes of death in
the U.S. and an estimated
15,000 seniors die from
AAA rupture each year. In
2007, for the first time, new
Medicare beneficiaries at
risk for AAA have the op-
portunity to be screened
using painless and noninva-
sive ultrasound technology.
The Screening Ab-
dominal Aortic Aneurysm
Very Efficiently
(SAAAYE) Act that was
passed by Congress is ef-
fective as of January 1,
2007. This free AAA
screening is available to

men who have smoked at
least 100 cigarettes at any
time in their lives, and to
men and women with a
family history of AAA.
This screening is part of the
Welcome to Medicare
physical.
OAAA screening is an
important measure that will
save thousands of American
lives each year,6 said vas-
cular surgeon Robert
Zwolak, M.D., a member of
the Society of Vascular
Surgery (SVS) and a pro-
fessor at Dartmouth Medi-
cal School. OOur SVS
members worked diligently
on SAAAVE. These vascu-
lar surgeons concentrate
their practices on the pre-
vention and cure of vascu-
lar disease, and they know
the effectiveness of screen-
ing in saving lives.6
All new Medicare
beneficiaries are encour-
aged to call their doctors
and take advantage of this
improved access to the free
AAA screening. The test is
quick and painless, involv-
ing a simple ultrasound on
the abdomen, similar to a
pregnancy ultrasound. AAA
often has no warning signs
and therefore screening is
an effective way to detect
the presence of a potentially
life-threatening aneurysm.
To learn more about
AAA screening and reduc-
ing the risk of AAA dis-
ease, Medicare recipients
should consult their physi-
cian or visit
www.aneurx.com.
A stent graft provides
a new blood flow pathway
for patients at risk of AAA
rupture.
