An Appetite for Health:
Americans Over 50 Strive for Heart and Muscle Health
WASHINGTON, D.C. — More than two-thirds
of older adults are managing more than one chronic disease. Despite this rising

supported by Abbott, found that heart and muscle health were the top two health
topics that adults over 50 years old are paying attention to – at 80 and 75
percent respectively. Brain health and having enough energy were equally
important health topics for adults at 74 percent.
