There are so many online scams to watch out for it just gives me a headache. One of the latest discovered by AARP involved a woman who was offered a job that she could do from home. They sent her a W-9 form and a check for $3,00. After she deposited the check, she was instructed to transfer $1,900 via a Bitcoin ATM to “ensure their financial linkup was secure.” After she made the transfer, her bank called her to inform her the check was fake.
The climate health bill recently passed by Congress provides quite a bit of relief for seniors. However, the fact that not all provisions kick in next year has some seniors worried. USA Today recently profiled Jackie Trapp, one of more than 1.3 million Americans whose drug spending exceeds Medicare;’s definition of “catastrophic” coverage. Jackie has incurable blood cancer and is on a chemotherapy regimen which costs $240K per year and results in $21,740 in out-of-pocket expenses for the drug Revlimid. “We used to donate a healthy amount to charity. Now, I’m receiving charity,” she told USA Today.

Despite numerous advances in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes over the past five decades, the disease has grown at an alarming rate. One in seven Americans have the disease, up from one in 20 in the 1970’s. Researchers have come to the sad conclusion that there is no drug powerful enough to counter the impact of poverty, pollution, stress, and a broken food system. “Our entire society is perfectly designed to create Type 2 Diabetes,” Dr. Dean Schillinger, a professor of medicine at University of California, San Francisco, told The Wall Street Journal. “We have to disrupt that,” he said. He was part of a team of experts who gave Congress a road map of how to address the growing number of diabetics earlier this year, the first since 1975. Hopefully, Congress will act on the report which was issued in January.

A new study, which was published in the journal JAMA Neurology, found that one in 10 Americans over the age of 65 have dementia, while 22% experienced mild cognitive impairment. It studied nearly 3,500 people via interviews and neuropsychological tests on a randomly selected sample of seniors between June of 2016 and October of 2017. 15% of those who identified as black tested positive for dementia, while 22% had mild cognitive decline. 10% of those who identified as Hispanic had dementia, while 28% had mild cognitive impairment. This compares to 9% of white people who had dementia and 21% had mild cognitive impairment.
A new study, which was published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, found that there were seven new diagnoses of Alzheimer’s disease for every 1,000 seniors who had a documented case of COVID-19 in the past year, compared to five new diagnoses for every 1,000 who did not. However, Heather Snyder, VP of medical and scientific relations at Alzheimer’s Association, played down the study.
“The pandemic presented serious delays for individuals seeking out medical diagnoses like Alzheimer’s, meaning these results could be driven by those who already had Alzheimer’s when they were infected but had not yet sought out a formal diagnosis,” Snyder said.
Dr. Elezer Masliah, director of the Division of Neuroscience at the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute on Aging, said there is evidence that COVID-19 could trigger cognitive impairment. One step in finding out would be to follow people at risk for Alzheimer’s after a COVID-19 infection over the long term, tracking biomarkers found in the blood and doing brain scans.
Imagine how many millions of people over the age of 60 or 65, like myself, have had COVID. Say 5% of them or 10% of them or even 1% of them are at risk,” he said. “Wow. We’re looking at a lot of people in the next few years that might add to the already very large epidemic that we have,” he added.

As part of its 44-page strategy plan, the Biden administration is requiring the Food and Drug Administration, the FDA, to come up with a food labeling system which is consumer friendly and will help people make better choices as it relates to building a healthy, nutritional diet. The move will help consumers who rank low on nutrition literacy, to quickly and easily identify better food choices. The label can use graphic images like star ratings or traffic lights to make the new system easily understandable. The policy is designed with two goals in mind. The first is to help consumers understand what is right and what is wrong with a product. The second is to encourage packaged food manufacturers to make more nutritious products.
