In this episode, we explore the importance of social engagement in the aging population. Studies have shown that individuals who have strong social connections tend to live longer and have a lower risk of developing chronic health conditions. Social engagement can also improve overall quality of life and even help to reduce the risk of falls in older adults. The benefits of social engagement go beyond just physical health. Strong social connections are also important for mental health and cognitive function. We review three ways to encourage your loved ones to participate in social activities. Attached is a sample checklist to help identify interests: Interest Checklist (Example).
