Older adults who remain as physically and socially active as possible have a better chance of not becoming disabled in their elderly years. That's the conclusion of Rush University researchers in Chicago. Results found that seniors with a high level of activity were twice as likely to remain independent and disability-free for longer periods of time. "Social activity has long been recognized as an essential component of healthy aging, but now we have strong evidence that it is also related to better everyday functioning and less disability in old age," said lead researcher Bryan James, Ph.D. Speaks for itself doesn't it?
