MAIN Health Senior's Health

The "golden years" may bring with it a host of health concerns, but these sites help light the way with reliable information on how to live longer, happier, and healthier.

As the baby boomer generation grows, more resources are becoming available. Take advantage of these top sites offering advice, health tips, medical info, stress management and more for the active senior...

FirstGov For Seniors - This site seems to have the opinion that health is a lifestyle issue. In addition to medical information - which is excellent - they offer plenty of infomation on mental health and ways to stay active and involved.

American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) - Although the AARP has lowered their age limit to 50, the concerns that are addressed are relevant to seniors at any age with feature articles, sections devoted to diet, stress management, health and prevention and more together with very active messageboards to exchange views and advice.

Canadian Association of Retired Persons (CARP): FiftyPlus Magazine - CARP has also lowered their age limit to 50, which is good for increasing the political base of seniors, but makes addressing group needs a bit clumsy. They do a good job of balancing the concerns of the new and the more experienced seniors and offers feature articles as well as good info on health and dental care, disease, caregiver issues and more.

ElderNet - This one has information for 50+ "elderly" but the information does seem truly geared to those senior issues that come with a longer life span. Good info on finding a doctor with experience in elder care.

SeniorMag - Not focused specifically on health issues, but covers them well.
