HARC has just released a special report on the
health of local seniors.
Here are a few of the interesting findings from the report:
- Nearly 19,500 seniors are (unpaid) caregivers
- More than 20,000 of our seniors are veterans
- Seniors are significantly more likely, than younger adults, to have been diagnosed with every major disease-except one
- 21% of local seniors have been diagnosed with a mental health disorder
- Less than 12% of sexually active seniors use condoms to protect from STDs
- More than 20,000 of our seniors are veterans
This report was made possible by a grant from the Auen Foundation. To learn more about the Auen Foundation, visit www.auenfoundation.org.
