Aging in a Changing World
http://www.hiphealth.ca/blog/aging-in-a-changing-world
Canadian Association on Gerontology - 41st Annual Scientific and Educational Meeting, Vancouver BC - October 18 - 20, 2012
Re-Imagine Aging: Adding Life to Years
http://www.hiphealth.ca/blog/reimagine-aging
The Centre for Hip Health and Mobility is uniting an interdisciplinary group of scholars and practitioners in the field of aging. The topic on the table at the three-day conference is the aging population in Canada and in many parts of the world. The proportion of older adults in the population is growing faster than any other age group. This rapid demographic shift has been classified as one of the world’s most challenging, urgent and ‘wicked problems’ –it calls for immediate change at every level of society.

Pedestrian Crossing Ahead
http://www.hiphealth.ca/blog/Pedestrian-Crossing-Ahead
Health-care practitioners recommend walking for its many benefits. Some benefits, such as muscle strength, and endurance, are obvious. But walking can also contribute to psychosocial wellbeing through social interaction and community engagement. These factors are especially important for older adults. Yet there may be some hidden challenges to walking within a community such as crossing the street. Depending on the neighbourhood “built environment," crosswalks can be hectic, filled with distractions. Meeting the time demands of the crosswalk can be difficult for older pedestrians3, especially those with mobility challenges.
