The document emphasizes the importance of food safety for everyone, but pays special attention to older adults (ages 65 and over). The document says, “Food safety is important for everyone—but it’s especially important for you.”

It notes that older adults are more susceptible to foodborne illness (food poisoning) due to physiological changes associated with aging and a weakened immune system. The document explains, “As we age, our immune systems and other organs become slower to recognize other pathogens that cause infections, such as foodborne illness.”

The document explains that some chronic conditions (such as diabetes and arthritis) and medications can increase the risk of foodborne illness. “By age 65, many of us have been diagnosed with one or more chronic conditions… Certain medications and/or chronic disease processes can make the body more susceptible to foodborne illness.”

What is cholesterol? Cholesterol is a type of fat in the blood.

The body produces cholesterol naturally, but we also get it from the foods we eat (such as meat, potato chips, biscuits, and eggs).

High cholesterol in the blood can lead to its accumulation inside the blood vessels in the heart.

"Cholesterol can build up inside the blood vessels in the heart, and if it builds up in large amounts, it can lead to a heart attack."

The importance of cholesterol testing:Most people do not have symptoms of high cholesterol.

The only way to know your cholesterol level is to have a blood test with your doctor.
