Staying physically fit may be a smart choice at any age, but is particularly important for seniors in light of the fact that most people lose up to 30 percent of their muscle strength between the ages of 50 and 70. According to an article published in the journal Deutsches Arzteblatt International, researchers from the University of Potsdam revealed that 
Americans who are turning 65 or older this year may have a greater risk of bone fractures, which can lead to significant injury and discomfort. According to a study presented at the 93rd Annual Meeting of the Endocrine Society in Boston, stem cell therapy that utilizes the bone-generating hormone IGF-I can help mend bones in fractures that are having difficulty healing normally.
A recent study conducted by researchers at the Hebrew Rehabilitation Center has found that the number of elderly patients who return to the hospital after discharge has risen significantly over the years. The paper, which appears in the current issue of the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, revealed that more Medicare beneficiaries are experiencing rehospitalization within 30 days of leaving.
