The U.S. suicide rate is on the rise for the first time in a decade, particularly among middle-aged white women.
It's not clear what might be causing the rising suicide rates among middle-aged whites. One possible explanation is that doctors may not be paying enough attention to the mental health of their middle-aged white patients.
Between 1999 and 2005, the overall suicide rate in the United S
(HealthDay News) -- The suicide rate in the United States is increasing for the first time in a decade, particularly among middle-aged white women, a new study finds."This is a group we haven't had as much focus on in terms of suicide, because the death rates were higher in elderly white males, and there has been a lot of attention to teenagers and young adults," said lead researcher Susan P.

Millions of baby boomers are about to enter a health care system for seniors that not only isn't ready for them, but may even discourage them from getting quality care. "We face an impending crisis as the growing number of older patients, who are living longer with more complex health needs, increasingly outpaces the number of health care providers with the knowledge and skills to care for them capably," said John W. Rowe, professor of health policy and management at Columbia University.Rowe headed an Institute of Medicine committee that released a report Monday on the health care outlook for the 78 million baby boomers about to begin turning 65.The report from the institute, an arm of the National Academy of Sciences, said:•There aren't enough specialists in geriatric medicine.•Insuff

Contrary to the common belief that baby boomers are the richest amongst us, up to date statistics are now telling us that, in this generation, only the same percentage owns second homes as was the case with their parents. And this could even just be because they inherited! So why do we all think that the baby boomers have it all together? Is it because we think they can economize so well? They were raised by parents who went through the war and grew accustomed to a frugal way of life. Is it because we read that they are going to be the last generation to have a big fat private pension? In fact, we may have this assumption because of a misunderstanding or skew in the reporting of such facts. There is some truth in the fact that baby boomers have caused the second homes market to increase c

Ancora una volta la notizia arriva dal Giappone dove è stato realizzato un giornale gratuito che punta alla generazione dei baby boomers, si chiama "Gaya Gaya" ed è stato lanciato a Dicembre e distribuito in 40.000 copie. E' una sorta di editoria in veste 2.0 poichè i baby boomers che si stanno avvicinando all'età pensionabile hanno soldi da spendere, molto tempo libero ed hanno una gran voglia di svolgere una vita attiva e sociale; così Gaya Gaya si propone come obiettivo quello di coinvogliare queste persone in attività sociali che portino
The Baby Boomers generation is comprised of the 78 million Americans born between 1946 and 1964. Leading-edge boomers, those born between 1946 and 1955, are not heading out to pasture quite yet and our nation cannot afford to lose their wisdom and work ethic. Boomers are by far the most educated generation. Today's fifty- and sixty-year-old Boomers are not eagerly anticipating lives of disengaging retirement.Many boomers are already thinking about their next step in life and are creating new careers and business opportunities based upon their interests and talents. As companies downsize, pare away pension plans, and with a precarious future for Social Security, more and more Baby Boomers are choosing to work beyond the age of traditional retirement.
