Symptoms associated with osteoporosis include, but not limited to: slouching, high risk of fractures, back pain, and is most common in elderly patients. Can be present starting at age 30, but women seem to experience it worse due to the hormonal changes that happen during menopause.

Researchers focus more on brains that have had trauma instead of those without. They found that there are speed processing issues with people who have diabetes. Adults who engage in complex activities show that they do not lose cognitive skills as quickly as those who have not.

Socioeconomic status vs. ethnicity in relation to health in middle adult:

- men in high-status occupations such as business owners and attorneys often avoid going to the doctor because it is seen as "unmanly". men in lower-status jobs go to the doctor more so men with high-status jobs are more likely to have worse health.
-"Ethnicity is linked to overall health: African Americans have shorter life expectancies than White Americans."
-"The U.S. has begun to study and address these disparities in health. These efforts from the U.S. has focused on cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer."
-Minority groups have higher rates of diabetes in relation to White Americans.

While women tend to live longer than men, they face much more harsh health conditions such as arthritis and go through menopause (p.408)

Men are at much higher risk for cardiovascular disease than women are

Men are not only at higher risk of CVD, they will more likely die from it, while women are more likely to survive the disease

To sum it up, women tend to live longer than men but will acquire more health conditions during that time. Whereas men do not live as long, but will more than likely die earlier of the disease or health issue in which they have
