Recent studies have demonstrated significant advancements in the early detection of Alzheimer’s disease using blood-based biomarkers, particularly the phosphorylated tau 217 (p-tau217) protein.

Caring for Our Seniors: A Global Lesson for the U.S.

In the United States, we often place our elderly in assisted living facilities, a decision that can inadvertently convey the message that they are no longer valued. In contrast, countries like Japan and Italy integrate seniors into their homes and communities, showing respect and reverence for their wisdom. It’s time we shift our mindset and adopt principles from the Blue Zones—regions known for longevity and quality of life—where seniors are active, connected, and valued. By incorporating these practices into our homes and senior care facilities, we can ensure our elders live with dignity and purpose.

Whether it’s through improving nutrition, supplementing cognitive health, or creating environments that foster independence, we must find ways to honor our seniors and help them thrive.
