Volunteering could improve strength in elderly
A new study suggests volunteering may help improve strength in elderly individuals.U.S. (WiredPRNews.com) – A recent analysis suggests volunteering may be beneficial for the health of elderly individuals. As reported by HealthDay News, volunteering may help ward off frailty in some instances for these individuals.Dr. Catherine Sarkisian with the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles is quoted in the report as stating of the analysis findings, “Of course, this certainly does not prove that volunteering prevents frailty…This was an observational study. But this suggests that maybe there is something about working to help other people — and getting outside yourself — that has benefits for the elderly, both mentally and physically.”More information about the study may be available in the Dec. 16 online publication of the Journal of Gerontology: Social Sciences.WiredPRNews.com – The latest Health NewsPhoto Credit: Wikipedia UserSterling Communications
