Chapter 15 Review 03: Physical and Cognitive Development in Middle Adulthood by Teresa Kruizenga https://padlet.com/kruizengateresa/pbkthsetvbx8qgmx In your small groups you will get a questions to explore and discuss Pay close attention to the breakout room you are assigned. Once in your group revisit the section of the text you’ve been assigned and discuss the question your group has been given. In Padlet (discussion tool) each group will create a summary of their text section/question. Be prepared to share out Group 1: What do researchers know about brain function in middle age? Group 2: What is osteoporosis, and what factors are associated with it? Group 3: How do vision and hearing change in middle age? Group 4: How does cardiovascular disease develop? Group 5: What factors contribute to cancer? Group 6: What are some important differences in the health of middle aged men and women?

  • 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

    - 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. ]]>     2022-04-06 19:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kruizengateresa/pbkthsetvbx8qgmx/wish/2133315198     Group 4 lilliswenson44 https://padlet.com/kruizengateresa/pbkthsetvbx8qgmx/wish/2133315362
    Athersclerosis is the process of the acculumation of plaque. The risk of athersclerosis increases with age. Athersclerosis is associated with lifestyle factors like smoking, diet, and exercise. Thus, it is preventable.

    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. ]]>     2022-04-06 19:38:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kruizengateresa/pbkthsetvbx8qgmx/wish/2133315738     Group 3 hernandezmirelle1997 https://padlet.com/kruizengateresa/pbkthsetvbx8qgmx/wish/2133315867 Presbyopia is the normal loss of vision due to aging, it mainly effects the focus of objects that are up close. 
    Presbycusis is the normal loss of hearing due to aging, it mainly effects high pitched sounds. 
    Both of these accelerates at a faster pace around ages 50-55. ]]>     2022-04-06 19:38:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kruizengateresa/pbkthsetvbx8qgmx/wish/2133315867     Group 1 https://padlet.com/kruizengateresa/pbkthsetvbx8qgmx/wish/2133321611 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. ]]> 2022-04-06 19:43:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kruizengateresa/pbkthsetvbx8qgmx/wish/2133321611 Group #5 Mackenzie and Ugo https://padlet.com/kruizengateresa/pbkthsetvbx8qgmx/wish/2133323553  In middle-aged men, the likelihood of dying of heart disease or cancer is about equal. Among middle-aged women, cancer is more likely to cause death. Factors include, smoking, diet, blood pressure, and even can be hereditary.
