Active Aging: A Lifetime of Good Health -- Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
http://www.fda.gov/oc/olderpersons/
The UN has declared 1999 the International Year of Older Persons (IYOP), in
recognition of the fact that the world's population is aging at an
unprecedented rate. The UN hopes to encourage government policies and
initiatives that address the associated issues. Throughout the world, more
people are living longer; one projection is that by the year 2030,
one-third of all adults in countries belonging to the Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development will be over the age of 60. The UN
site is available in English, Spanish, and French and includes information
on the current situation of older adults; UN Principles; International Plan
of Action on Ageing; listing of IYOP activities and meetings planned by UN
member countries, governments, and organizations; a conference calendar;
statistics; and practical ideas that local and national governments can
implement to improve the situation of older adults. The gopher site
includes the full-text versions of the International Plan of Action on
Ageing and UN Principles for Older Persons. As their contribution in the
IYOP, the US FDA provides Active Aging: A Lifetime of Good Health, which
contains over 30 articles for older adults that offer practical advice on
how to maintain health as well as cope with age-related medical problems.
Topics include Arthritis, Cancer, Nutrition, Food Safety, Medical
Treatments, Osteoporosis, and Women's Health. Most articles are reprints,
with revisions, from the FDA Consumer and include links to organizations
and other related FDA publications. A few of the articles are available in
Spanish.[GW]
