Forget
about heart disease or cancer treatment -- the big ticket item in
America’s health bill is paying for dementia care. It’s nearly a
quarter-trillion dollars a year, and most of that is paid by families
for long-term care in or out of the home. Officials predict that the
number of Americans with Alzheimer’s disease could triple by the year
2050. Source Link
Marriage
is taking a backseat for more Americans. A new report says nearly half
of women under 45 years old have cohabited outside of marriage,
including three-quarters of women under 30. Tough financial times have
led to fewer marriages, but the longer a couple lives together, the more
likely they are to have a child. Source Link
If it works for selling skin products, why not hair care? America’s growing Baby Boomer population is being targeted with new anti-aging shampoos and hair products. Scientists say it’s not snake oil either; products that can make hair thicker will also make it look fuller, but they won’t replace lost follicles. Source Link
