Malnutrition killing elderly in U.S.
By Madison Park In a nation where people die from complications of too much food, some die from having too little. Although malnutrition is often thought of as a killer in the developing world, it's also a problem for the elderly in the United States, according to research published in the May issue of the Annals of Epidemiology. Researchers from Louisiana State University examined data from 3,141 counties and older adult malnutrition mortality using Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data. Between 2,000 and 3,000 older adults die from malnutrition each year, according to CDC data from 2006. Malnutrition is more prevalent among older adults, especially over the age of 70. They may eat too little, lack nutrition or have digestion problems related to aging. This can stem from certain medications, trouble chewing due to dental issues, problems swallowing or difficulty absorbing nutrients, according to the Mayo Clinic. MayoClinic.org: Senior health: How to detect and prevent malnutrition The rates of malnutrition mortality among older adults vary widely across communities. The communities with higher levels of socioeconomic disadvantage, social isolation and disability are more likely to have higher rates of malnutrition-related deaths, wrote the author, Matthew Lee, a sociology professor at Louisiana State University. "Communities where adults are living alone and are widowed have higher rates of dying from malnutrition," he said. "When people are embedded in strong social networks, they fare better." Lee stumbled across statistics about malnutrition deaths in CDC reports. "I never heard much about elderly mortality related to malnutrition," he said, because "it’s not an extremely common event." The issue may attract little attention because of its demographic, he said. "People get old, they’re expected to pass on and people don’t think much about the causes of it at that point."

Bonjour à tous et à toutes ! Je ne sais pas vraiment si je suis dans le bon endroit pour poster ma demande et je n'ai pas trop l'habitude de ces forums ! Je m'explique : j'ai 58 ans et je suis une novice dans le domaine de l'internet et des "nouvelles technologies" : cela ne fait que deux mois que j'ai pris une "liveboxe".
Je ne vais pas vous embeter avec ma vie actuelle plus longtemps. Je suis un peu supersticieuse et je cherche des retours d'expérience de personnes qui seraient dans mon cas.
Avant d'avoir internet, je passais beaucoup de temps au téléphone avec des voyants et divers médiums. J'en avais trouvé quelques uns de pas mauvais mais je me suis toujours un peu méfiée de ces personnes qui sont à l'autre bout du fil. Depusi quelques temps, je me suis mis en tête de chercher des sites où je pourrais discuter gratuitement avec des médiums. J'en ai trouvé quelques uns et retenu une liste de sites qui m'avaient l'air sérieux. Pouvez vous me dire si vous les avez testé ? Voici ma liste pour le moment :
1er site de voyance
2eme site de voyance
3eme site de voyance
Avez vous testé ces sites ? Sinon, avez vous d'autres sites à me conseiller ? J'ai vraiment besoin d'un peu d'aide. J'avoue être supersticieuse et passer beaucoup de temps à connaitre mon avenir par diverses méthodes (j'ai un cancer et cela me stresse beaucoup). Je ne peux pas me permettre de dépenser beaucoup d'argent pour trouver un bon voyant alors toute aide sera la bienvenue.
Je vous remercie de votre aide à tous !
tres interessant, merci

This is shocking news. Who would have expected that in a country always being blamed for its excesses, there is a segment which dies due to malnutrition. Dedicated, consistent and persistent efforts need to be taken to ensure that the elderly get the care they deserve to live a life of dignity and make these the golden years of their life.
Samuels estimates it might be about $700,000 in full, for example hiring a truck to take away the salt h2o during the disposal ponds.

These days of austerity and relative anxiousness about incurring debt, many individuals balk contrary to the idea of having a credit card to make acquisition of merchandise as well as pay for a trip, preferring, instead just to rely on the actual tried and trusted technique of making repayment – hard cash. However, if you possess cash there to make the purchase in whole, then, paradoxically, that's the best time to be able to use the cards for several causes.
