Analyzing the Health and Retirement Study, she found 60% of older adults screened positive for depression in the last year of life (related study here ).

I had it on my screen. But at that time I was struck by how in that field, there wasn’t a focus or really interest in symptom management and support for patients and their families.

And I also read that 1 out of 10 newly diagnosed HIV cases are in older adults.

I guess I’m just sticking to the position that I would like someday to be able to diagnose Alzheimer’s as well as Lewy body disease, et cetera before someone has disabling impairments.
