I'm currently 73 & the chart's wrong for me. Genetics matter.
My mother lived to 101. My father died at 89 but that was due to a collapsed lung suffered as a result of too much smoking when younger. He could have lived well past 90 if he hadn't smoked.
So, I'm good to at least 90. 🤞

Ageism: the -ism affecting the lives of older people living with HIV

Okay so here is my take on #aging
Aging is the constant duel between the ever increasing downtime it takes to recover from injuries or illnesses of any sort and the willingness to live in a state of decay or decline that is increasingly permanent until entropy is like a snowball rolling down the hill

I can’t wait for my body to get acclimated to winter weather so I can run out with a tshirt in -10c and grab the mail or pull in the trash bins.
It’s like -5c today. I went outside for 10mins and now I’m bundled up inside and need a hot drink and a hot water bottle and a heater.

"More than 30 million older Americans are enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans, wooed by lower premiums and more benefits than traditional Medicare offers.
But a bipartisan group of lawmakers is increasingly concerned that insurance companies are preying on seniors, and, in some cases, denying care that would otherwise be approved by traditional Medicare."

At my cervical screening appointment today, the doctor said to me, 'Well, you're nearly 50... it's worth doing some investigative tests for things like diabetes, high cholesterol...' and she rattled off several other diseases I could potentially look forward to as I age.
I'm fine with doing the tests -- my family tree is littered with a litany of inheritable conditions, so I figure it's best to know rather than not -- but I'm also pondering the way ageing is medicalised. I don't know. I like living and I'd like to have any conditions well managed, and at this age, most can be managed with lifestyle changes, I guess. And I'm generally healthy, so I'm not expecting bad news!
Just thinking about life and the changing body, I suppose. And what that means in medical terms too.

Old and young people build muscle in the same way. But as you age, many of the biological processes that turn #exercise into muscle become less effective. This makes it harder for older people to build #strength.

“One way or another, taxpayers are going to have to pay more for long-term care needs of the baby boomers.”
Many experts believe it’s untenable to expect that a private insurance market can protect most people from the growing burden of long-term care costs.
“The whole situation is poorly suited to that kind of insurance offering,” said Robert Saldin, a political science professor at the University of Montana who studies the industry.

How to slow the aging process
Death is inevitable, but it's good to postpone it if one can maintain a healthy life that minimizes the pain and suffering of chronic illness.
There are no sure things, but one can take steps to minimize the risk of harm (thus we use seatbelts in automobiles).

The Most VITAL Thing As You Age? Maintaining muscle mass. Research shows that people over age 50 lose 1% of their muscle mass *per year,* which leads to increased risk of falling, increased pain, lower metabolism, and less independence over time.

If you're 50+, this guy is a good follow. No hype - just solid info.
Why do I care so much about #accessibility? I have seen firsthand how totally healthy people become incapacitated. People that are executives, award-winning teachers, top notch scientists, and athletes. One day totally fine and the next day completely changed. Also the #aging process comes for us all. I want to find ways that all of us can continue to use technology and have the lives we want.
I found Jenny Diski's writing a decade ago. Just spicy enough.
"One of the problems of ageing is knowing when to start complaining about being old... I supposed I must accept that I was old because my hairdresser says, ‘Ah, bless,’ in response to whatever I say in answer to her questions. ‘Are you busy today?’ ‘Just regular working.’ ‘Ah, bless.’ ‘How was the weekend?’ ...
I hear it too from shop assistants as they call out that I’ve left my purse on the counter. ‘Ah, bless,’ they say when I return to pick it up. I used to leave my purse behind in my younger days too (though not nearly so often), but I don’t recall anyone ah-blessing me until recently.
The ah-bless alters or confirms whatever it’s responding to, and in my mind’s eye (altered and confirmed) I see a small, nondescript old lady going bravely about her business. There are other signs that I am no longer young, but the ah-bless is the most open and public."

Good morning. 🍄🍄🍄

Growing old happens suddenly, doesn't it, or it seems to do that sometimes. Where I worked, before I retired, I needed a badge, well more of an ID card or pass. I had to get a new one every couple of years, so they took a new photo of me. Every time I joked that something was wrong with the camera. It was kind of corny I know, but I'm an introvert and struggle to hold a conversation, particularly with strangers. Whoops, I skipped the track didn't I. Well back to growing old. In my office I have a black and white photo of my company at the USMC Infantry Training Regiment at Camp Pendleton in 1971. I'm in the photo and I think I know which Marine I am but I'm not at all certain.

"Gurwitz fears geriatric medicine is on the decline. Despite the surging older population, there are fewer geriatricians now (just over 7,400) than in 2000 (10,270), he noted in a recent piece in JAMA. (In those two decades, the population 65 and older expanded by more than 60%.) Research suggests each geriatrician should care for no more than 700 patients; the current ratio of providers to older patients is 1 to 10,000."
When my little brother and I asked our mom how old she was, she used to laugh and say "I'm as old as my tongue, and a little bit older than my teeth."
That was frustrating, but now I've reached the age where that seems like a perfectly legit answer.

I really enjoyed this essay by Xochitl Gonzalez about #aging with control and gratitude. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/11/female-body-aging-breast-reduction-surgery/675878/
Someone at work casually dropped an observation that, in our culture, people between 30 and 45 or so tend towards terror of any perceived corruption to the body, from age or disease, willing to pay any price to avoid it. After that, it becomes easier to relax, accept the path, and refocus on quality of life. This tracked profoundly with my own experience. I'm still thinking about it.

Woke up with an unhappy back that has just grown more aggravated throughout the day, think I pulled something in my thigh walking to the store earlier, feeling older than I should a few weeks out from my 32nd year. #aging
One of the weirdest ways I feel old is when I see how computer-illiterate young adults are these days.
(Is it the equivalent of my dad being disappointed in me every time I open the hood of the car and I have no idea what all those things are or do?)
And also, they don't know how to write e-mails (you know the part where you say hello and the part where you sign your name.)
The most remote rural counties had Wave 4 COVID-19 mortality rates 52% higher than the most urban counties. Older age composition, worse pre-pandemic population health, lower vaccination rates, higher share of votes cast for Trump in the 2020 Presidential election, and lower socioeconomic composition completely explained the rural disadvantage in reported case rates.

The Ugly Truth: American Society’s Disposable Attitude Toward #Aging
The media and advertising sectors are dominated by a small group of extremely wealthy persons, and they maintain a fixation on youth and beauty. This fixation harms people’s self-esteem and mental health and encourages a disposable attitude toward aging. The #oligarchy establishes an impossible standard by continually bombarding us with pictures of young perfection, which leads to the devaluation....

Two kinds of aging people in the world. Once they realize they’re closer to the end than the beginning:

2. Fuck it. I need to try and make things better and clean up the joint before I head out.
"Suppose the disabilities of age mean you can no longer safely live in your own home. Well, you’re on your own. Unless you can afford to move to some kind of assisted-living facility, you’re in real trouble. Your main alternative is to spend down most of what you own, so you qualify for the pittance that your state Medicaid program will pay a (most likely for-profit) nursing home to warehouse you until you die." #Aging #disability https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/aging-alone-in-u-s

This week's epiphany: All of us in our 40s or older who have put off writing even though it's something we've always wanted to do have no reason to criticise ourselves for not doing more of it sooner. Our views of the world change and mature as we get older, so being older and wiser is actually an advantage. It might not be true for everyone, but it does tend to be for people who are deeply reflective, as most writers are. #writing #aging #wisdom

I'm just on the threshold, but I am beginning to embrace Old.
I embrace all that I have lived and all that I have loved. All I have survived and how I have, and have not, thrived.
I embrace wisdom and knowledge and increased empathy, compassion and understanding.
I embrace moving a little more slowly and noticing more around me. And yes, the pains and creaks that give me the grace to do so.
And I relish really fitting into my skin and not giving a crap if someone likes me for who I am, or not.
Youth-glorifying culture is a mindset; don't subscribe to it.
I do not recommend using the term 'stagnate'. That implies absence of change.

Changes in population, New Mexico 2010 to 2019.

I wonder what demographic changes are projected to take place in 'stagnant' California in the next decade?
