September Is Healthy Aging® Month

As you age, you may notice changes in your bones, joints, muscles, and skin. September is Healthy Aging® Month and gives you a chance to learn about these conditions and share what you’ve discovered with others. It’s a time for you to focus on your health and help those around you do the same. A wonderful resource is the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) It offers more than 40 Health Topics with information related to symptoms, treatment, and tips for daily living.

Share these resources:

• Living With Back Pain: Health Information Basics for You and Your Family
• Living With Arthritis: Health Information Basics for You and Your Family
• Back Pain
• Osteoarthritis
• Bone Health and Osteoporosis

You can also order some materials about these and other topics for free by visiting the NIAMS Publication Ordering System or calling toll free at 877–226–4267 (for telecommunications support, dial 711).
