Healthy Habits in Midlife Can Help Protect Your ...

When people think about bone health, they often focus on older age, but research shows that the choices you make in midlife can have a lasting impact on your risk of fractures many years down the road. A recent long-term study adds to what we already know about how lifestyle habits affect bone health and fracture risk. Nearly 13,000 men were followed for several decades, and the results found that midlife habits, including physical activity levels and body weight, were strongly linked to hip fracture risk decades later. In fact, these early lifestyle factors helped predict fracture risk up to 50 years later. While the study focused on men, the message applies to everyone. Bone health is built and maintained over time, and midlife is a critical window to support it.

It’s often associated with aging or frailty, and many assume it will be obvious if their bones become weak. In reality, osteoporosis often develops quietly over many years, often without any obvious warning signs. For some families, the first sign can come unexpectedly, through a fracture that seems to happen from a relatively minor fall.

Protect Yourself and Your Loved Ones: Adults Ages 50+ Are Recommended to Get Vaccinated Against Pneumococcal Disease

As we age, protecting our health becomes essential to maintaining independence, staying active, and continuing to do the things we love. For adults ages 50 and older, pneumococcal disease can pose serious health risks, leading to infections such as pneumonia, bloodstream infections, and meningitis that may result in hospitalization and lengthy recovery periods. The good news is that as soon as you turn 50, you can take an important step to protect yourself against pneumococcal disease: getting vaccinated. Vaccination can help you stay healthy and present for the moments that matter most.
