"High blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and osteoporosis going under-treated, Tilda research shows"
"Hitting middle-age may not be the worrying milestone it was, as new research shows our quality of life improves from the age of 50."
"Quality of life peaks at around 65-66 years before declining more steeply, according to the latest findings from the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (Tilda) at Trinity College Dublin."
High blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and osteoporosis are going under-treated among older adults. Quality of life improves beginning at about age 50 and continues rising through middle age. Quality of life reaches a peak at roughly 65–66 years before declining more steeply thereafter. Experiencing improved wellbeing in middle age suggests that the transition into middle-age can coincide with higher overall quality of life. Under-treatment of common chronic conditions could undermine health during the years when quality of life is highest and may negatively affect outcomes during the later-life decline.
