Government cut in spending on income support for poorer pensioners can lead to an increased rate of mortality among the vulnerable adults over the age of 85, says a study.
A new study that measured age-related damage to all the five senses: vision, smell, hearing, touch, and taste has found that 94 percent of older adults in the US lose at least one of the five key senses, but often more.
People who feel older than their peers are more likely to be hospitalised as they age, regardless of their actual age or other demographic factors, warns a new study.
Senior citizens are likely to accept robots as dish washers and entertainment providers but are wary of giving up too much control to the machines, say researchers.
