Problem: Chronic diseases are conditions that last at least three months and may result in impairments that require long-term management (e.g., arthritis and diabetes). Many older adults suffer from more than one chronic condition at a time. The article "More Older Adults with Multiple Problems" presents the statistics. For this forum, I ask you to read the article and answer the following question: How do you think older adults manage these situations? Comment on what the underlying causes of the rising issue of multiple chronic conditions and ways of solving this issue. In addition, given the fact that age-related increases in chronic disease typically results in related increases in the number of medications people take, discuss the difficulties that older adults might face in taking their medications correctly, as well as the potential for adverse interactions of medication.
