Public Health Grand Rounds Presents “Healthy Aging: Promoting Well-being in Older Adults" on Tuesday, September 19 at 1:00 p.m. (ET)

Public Health Grand Rounds

We are pleased to present the September session Public Health Grand Rounds, Healthy Aging: Promoting Well-being in Older Adults.” This session will be available via live webcast from CDC headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia on Tuesday, September 19, at 1:00 p.m. (ET). Open captions are provided.
Americans are Living Longer and in Greater Numbers
The population of older Americans is growing and living longer than ever. As a group, they are living active lives and contributing to the economy. The added years to the lifespans have resulted in a longer middle age—extending the period when workers are most productive and creative.
  • 10,000 people are turning 65 a day
  • 80 percent of people age 50 and older plan to work past 65
  • People over 50 in the US contribute $7.6 trillion to the economy annually
Aging Brings Challenges
Aging brings an increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, and dementia. For example, Alzheimer’s disease -- the most common type of dementia -- is the 5th leading cause of death among older Americans. Older adults also face more challenges with everyday living activities.
  • 80 percent of older adults have at least one chronic health condition
  • 1 in 3 older adults have limitations in activities such as preparing meals and housekeeping
The Challenges of Caregiving and Caregivers
Birth rates are declining, posing a potential shortfall of caregivers, and that trend will continue. Caregivers themselves are at risk for health problems. Trends show they will be working longer hours and caring for people with more than one chronic disease.
Join us for this session of Public Health Grand Rounds as experts discuss the impact the aging population will have on their caregivers, the public health system, and the aging themselves. Learn how older people can maintain their health and independence. Hear what CDC and public health officials are doing and what needs to be done.
Email your questions about this topic before or during the session.

Grand Rounds is available for continuing education. 
All continuing education credit for Public Health Grand Rounds (PHGR) is issued online through the CDC/ATSDR Training and Continuing Education Online system. If you have questions, you can email Learner Support or call them at 1-800-41-TRAIN (1-800-418-7246). Those who view PHGR and wish to receive continuing education must complete the online seminar evaluation. Continuing education will be available for up to 2 years and 1 month after the initial offering. The course code for all PHGR sessions is PHGR10.
Target audience: physicians, nurses, epidemiologists, pharmacists, veterinarians, certified health education specialists, laboratorians, and others.
Objectives:
  1. List key measures of burden of disease involving morbidity, mortality, and/or cost.
  2. Describe evidence-based preventive interventions and the status of their implementations.
  3. Identify one key prevention science research gap.
  4. Name one key indicator by which progress and meeting prevention goals is measured.
CE certificates can be printed from your computer immediately upon completion of your online evaluation. A cumulative transcript of all CDC/ATSDR CE credits obtained through the TCE Online system will be maintained for each user. We hope that this will assist CDC staff and other public health professionals in fulfilling the requirements for their professional licenses and certificates.
