80 percent or greater of older Americans report never using bicycles, trains, taxis, and buses. Does your community perpetuate transportation inequities for older adults? https://t.co/dqVSfWOfzD

[National Alliance for Caregiving @NA4Caregiving]

#Caregiving is core to the nation’s public health. 1 in 5 Americans has provided unpaid care in the past 12 months for an adult or child with special needs, a number up from 18% in 2015. Learn from @NA4Caregiving and @AARP : https://t.co/gjYv12OAaN #CaregivinginAmerica

[Regina Shih @ReginaShih]

@soledadobrien Likely a combination of many factors: lower educational quality, decreased access to health providers, and poor health behaviors associated with dementia risk. Hoping this puts another spotlight on rural health as rural areas are aging more rapidly!

[Regina Shih @ReginaShih]

My new RAND study is the first to show dementia is more common in rural than urban seniors. Good news is that rural investments in increasing HS graduate rates have narrowed that gap! https://t.co/pvjRIINx8H @AmJPrevMed
