Older adults are one of the fastest growing segments on the Web. This year alone the number of adults 55 years and older going online has grown by 20% to over 27 million unique individuals.

Nearly 30 percent of adults aged 75 and older have one or more disabilities in performing basic activities of daily living. Additionally, of the more than 2.3 million older adults with severe disability, 84 percent receive some form of public health insurance. We wanted to find out what might be done to help this group more effectively.

While the number of new Internet users in the US and the total number of online buyers are both growing at single digit rates, online sales are experiencing double-digit increases. Credit goes to baby boomers who are increasing their online spending and a cadre of digitally literate young adults who are replacing older Internet shoppers in the e-commerce marketplace. These demographic forces — coupled with the spread of broadband access — are changing the way people shop online and how Web merchants market to them.

In our office, about 10 percent of the one-on-one counseling sessions are actually children of older adults. I think there was an expectation we'd see a lot more children of older adults seeking help.

When we think of smoking, we tend to think of adults and older adults dying of lung cancer or emphysema. What we miss is the fact that they're dying as adults because of decisions they made as a child.

Once we established that it was safe and did what we hoped it would do in normal healthy adults, then we move to our most vulnerable population, older adults and children.

When I came into the picture, Ben and his dad had had a lot of together time and did a lot of grown-up things. Then I came along, and we did more grown-up things. He was used to hanging around adults a lot. I think that was part of (his growing up fast). He just got used to being around adults, and he acted like one of 'em.

Regardless of wealth, older Americans carry an unacceptable burden of suffering in their last year of life. The older adults we studied who lived in the community suffered as much in their last year of life as do younger people who are severely ill and hospitalized.

Health care providers tend not to ask older patients about alcohol abuse if it wasn't a problem in their live in earlier years. Sometimes the symptoms are mistaken for those of dementia, depression, or other problems common to older adults. Unfortunately, too many older persons turn to alcohol as a comfort following the death of a spouse, a divorce, retirement, or some other major life change, unaware that they are markedly affecting the quality of their lives.

[ADHD isn't just for kids anymore these days adults are being diagnosed with it in record numbers. New data released from Medco Health Solutions, a pharmacy benefits manager, indicates that about 1.5 million adults between the ages of 20 and 64 are currently taking medication to treat attention problems, up from 758,000 in 2000—and most of them were diagnosed well into adulthood. While there are still more kids taking ADHD medication—about 3.5 million—Dr. David Goodman, director of the Adult Attention Deficit Disorder Center in Baltimore, expects the number of adults taking the drugs to continue to rise.] Many adults who for years have been called lazy, crazy or stupid, ... are realizing the problem may be in their brain.

Home remedy use is widespread among elder adults regardless of ethnicity, suggesting that older adults find some benefit in these practices and they play an important role in elders' overall strategy for health management.

Older adults should do more reps with smaller weights. This will build strength, increase balance and prevent loss of bone density. And those are all important health concerns for older people.

Safety first for children and adults alike. I live on an older street (Colby Lane). We have no sidewalks, and traffic is getting heavier all the time. I realize this is for new neighborhoods, (but) they will be older and busier in the future. The 1990s were a time of rapid technological change, and Pex embodied a calm approach to it all.

College will be a growing experience for me beyond academics and classes. Everyone here is older. We're adults. Everyone is forced to be mature. Nobody is going to hold your hand like they did in high school.

Older adults receive a considerable number of perks that enhance their lives, but that shouldn't be just a free ride at retirement. Forget the old idea that you are entitled to simply rest and enjoy yourself. At that age, you potentially have another productive 10 years. There should be some feeling of obligation attached.
