But I started coming. I did feel some improvement, so I kept at it.” That was 29 years ago. Rambert got certified by the Arthritis Foundation to lead the class and teaches it twice a week. “Knees, hips, elbows, whatever,” she says. “The warm water helps everything—I can do exercises that I couldn’t do on land. Our bodies have more buoyancy in water. It provides natural resistance that works our muscles without straining them.” Other anti-arthritis pool programs are held at the YMCA of the Upper Main Line in Berwyn, which also has aqua tai chi. Regular tai chi is also great exercise for older bodies. “When I started here 20 years ago, we had maybe 30 people every day,” says Susan Shapiro, executive director of the Wayne Senior Center, which serves Montgomery, Delaware and Chester counties. “Now, it can be anywhere from 50 to 100 people. That’s not all related to exercise, but it’s a lot of it. “Exercise helps with two things that most older people are afraid of: falling and cognitive decline,” Shapiro says. “And although everyone knows that is part of the purpose, we don’t position exercise as a thing that people have to do. We make it fun. We have a wide variety of classes that are on the cutting-edge of fitness and turn exercise into something people want to do.” The physical benefits of exercise are many. “Joint movement, weight loss, cardiovascular improvements,” says Mary Francis Reilly, executive director of Main Line YMCA. “And there are just as many mental benefits.” Research backs Reilly’s statement. In 2011, Brown University’s Alpert Medical School and the University of Illinois showed that aerobic exercise three times per week increases the levels of BDNF, a protein in the brain that regenerates the hippocampus, which is responsible for forming new memories. Elsewhere, a study run by the Boston University School of Medicine, New York Medical College and Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons reported that seniors who did yoga altered their levels of gamma amino-butyric acid, which is connected to stress-related illnesses like depression, anxiety and high blood pressure. UCLA’s Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences showed that tai chi has many of the same effects. healthcare guide/fall 2012 8/9/12 10:27:06 AM Exton • West Chester • Pottstown • Media Roxborough • Haverford • King of Prussia Paoli • Chestnut Hill • and 41 more locations in Pennsylvania and New Jersey All Better.

Lassen’s activities were limited to recreational swimming and tennis for most of her life. Then she was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 75. “The doctor said exercise would help control the diabetes—and it certainly has,” she says. “And if I’d known how much I enjoy exercise, I’d have done more of it over the years. I encourage other older folks to get out there and find what works for them. It’s use it or lose it, right?” Lassen is using it so much that she won the women’s 2012 Fitness Award from the Wayne Senior Center. The male award went to Tobey. His fitness routine would put to shame someone half his age. “I do the weightlifting machines and the treadmill at the center three times a week. And four times per week, I walk the track at Haverford College or hike with a buddy,” says Tobey. “At least four times a week, I do laps in the pool at Villanova.” Tobey gets his swimming in via the Friends of Villanova program. For a $25 annual fee, Radnor Township residents can access the university’s pool, fitness centers and outdoor tracks. “We don’t have classes specifically for seniors,” says Lisa Harris, Villanova’s director of intramurals and recreation. “But many township residents choose to take advantage of the program and use our state-ofthe-art facilities.” Senior who are residents of townships throughout Montgomery, Delaware and Chester counties can access facilities at recreations centers, high schools and senior centers—either for free or for minimal fees. Programs and costs vary by township. “There are things that are not terrible about being older—and getting discounts is one of them,” says Tobey. A medical doctor before he retired, Tobey is well aware of the benefits of exercise. But he does it because he enjoys it. “I turned 80 in February, but I say that I’m barely into my 70s,” he says. “This winter, I’ll be skiing with my grandchilHG dren—if they can keep up with me.” healthcare guide/fall 2012 8/9/12 10:27:13 AM W: 8.4375in, H: 11.125in W: 8.1875in, H: 10.875in W: 7 in, H: 10 in vip reception 4 pm general seating 5 pm fashion show 6 pm Full-Page Bleed Ads Porsche of The Main Line Final size /Enterprises Trim size / Document size = 8.1875” x 10.875” Supply your artwork 8.4375” x 11.125” (this size includes bleed).

By Melissa Jacobs Confused and concerned about calcium, bone health and osteoporosis medications like Fosamax, Prolia and Boniva? “It’s the number one thing that my post-menopausal patients are asking me about,” says Dr. Christine Ellis, an OB/GYN with Associates for Women’s Medicine in West Chester and Exton. “There’s a lot of information out there, but not all of it is correct.” Every patient’s needs are different, but one thing’s for sure: “We’re looking at a huge population of baby boomers and their parents who are dealing with osteoporosis,” says Dr. Gary Gordon, chief of rheumatology at Lankenau Hospital. The National Osteoporosis Foundation reports that 10 million Americans have the disease and 34 million may develop it. Both men and women are at risk. The NOF estimates that, of people older than 50, half of all women and one in four men will break a bone because of osteoporosis. In layman’s terms, bones are made of calcium phosphate, collagen and cells that slough away old cells and replace them with new ones. This process happens with human bodies of every age and both genders. But, as we age, the regenerationreplacement process slows, resulting in less dense, more fragile bones. That slowing is exacerbated in postmenopausal women because of their estrogen loss, which depletes bones of that hormone’s calcium absorption benefits. How much the bones are affected depends on how strong they were to begin with, which is why doctors firmly recommend prevention as the first wave of treatment. But one of the problems with prevention is that people are not getting sufficient amounts of calcium. In 2011, the National Academies’ Food and Nutrition Board issued its recom- H10 www.mainlinetoday.com H&W feat bones fall12.indd 1 l healthcare guide/fall 2012 8/9/12 10:29:48 AM Comfort. our spaCious private rooms help patients reC reCover in Comfort.

BrandywineHosp_pH11.indd 1 It’s better at Brandywine. 8/8/12 10:25 AM mended daily allowances for calcium: 1,000 mg for all adults 19-50, plus an increase to 1,200 mg when women turn 51, and an increase to 1,200 mg when men hit 71. According to the USDA, eight ounces of plain, low-fat yogurt has 415 mg of calcium, one cup of cottage cheese has 138 mg of calcium and a half-cup of broccoli has 21 mg of calcium. Together, that equals only half of the RDA for calcium for women ages 19-50. That’s why supplements are called for. But recent studies show that calcium supplements might have harmful effects. Two long-term studies—one by the University of Auckland and one from the European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer and Nutrition—report higher rates of heart attack in people who took calcium supplements. “It’s not how much calcium a person takes, it’s what they absorb,” says Mark Stayton, sales manager at Martindale’s Natural Market in Springfield. And to absorb calcium, you need vitamin D and magnesium. “That’s how the calcium gets delivered to the bone cells,” says Stayton. “Without D and magnesium, you have elemental calcium in The FDA issued an analysis of bisphosphonates, suggesting that patients shouldn’t be on them for more than five years, which may come as a shock to patients who’ve been on Fosamax for up to 10 years. your body that isn’t utilized. The body could eliminate it or it might end up as plaque in your arteries.” Ellis and Gordon confirm Stayton’s analysis. “But when taken properly, calcium can go a long way toward preventing osteoporosis,” says Ellis. “And the problem with osteoporosis is that it’s Looking tired? Maybe you need a little “LIFT”! treatable, but not reversible. That’s when we need osteoporosis medications.” Fosamax, Boniva, Reclast and Actonel are bisphosphonates; Forteo is a parathyroid hormone; and Prolia is a RANK ligand inhibitor. The purpose of all the drugs is the same: to manipulate the regeneration-replacement cycle of bone cells. The medications do that in basically the same ways—although some are stronger than others, Gordon says. While ads featuring Sally Field and Blythe Danner promote the bimonthly or monthly medications as easier to take than daily Fosamax, they also can have side effects. Those side effects— including femur fractures and breakages in other bones—have caused concern among post-menopausal women. For many, the side effects may have been exacerbated. “When the drugs were introduced, we were misled by the drug companies and told to treat everyone with osteopenia—and right away, before it advanced to osteoporosis,” Gordon says. “As a result, people have been on these medications for longer than perhaps they need to be, so some of the side effects may be more pronounced.” Surgical services include: Upper & lower eyelids “LIFTS”: $2000-$2800 Before After Before After Brow “LIFTS”: $2800-$4000 (varies on method used) • Eyelid surgery takes less than an hour and can take decades off your appearance. • Your eyes are the feature that everyone notices and expresses how you feel. • So trust your most valuable asset to a surgeon who ONLY performs eyelid & brow surgeries. • Dr. Lee performs over 1,000 eyelids & brows surgeries annually- the expert in this field!

In May of this year, the Food and Drug Administration issued an analysis of bisphosphonates, suggesting—but not mandating—that patients should be on the medications for no more than five years. That comes as an unwelcome shock to patients who’ve been on Fosamax for up to 10 years, Ellis says. And her practice has made changes. “We reevaluated who was really at risk,” she says. “Certainly, that was done on a case-by-case basis. But we no longer suggest that everyone with osteopenia goes on osteoporosis medication.” Which medication remains an issue. Ellis still prescribes Fosamax for her patients. She believes the drug’s benefits outweigh the risks, which happen in an extremely low percentage of the population. She only prescribes Prolia, Boniva, “We re-evaluated who was really at risk on a caseby-case basis. We no longer suggest that everyone with osteopenia goes on osteoporosis medication.” —Dr. Christine Ellis Viagra®, Levitra® or Cialis® not working? No help from Viagra®, Levitra® or Cialis®? Tired of injection therapy? Roughly 30% of men will not respond to oral therapies prescribed for Erectile Dysfunction (E.D.), leaving millions of men looking for a solution. “When Viagra and other treatments fail, the best option may be an inflatable penile implant (IPI),” says Dr. Bruce Garber of The Philadelphia Impotence Foundation. An IPI is a saline-filled device, inserted as an outpatient procedure. An IPI is completely internal, and is undetectable by most women. Squeezing the pump results in a rigid erection. Squeezing the release valve allows the penis to return to a non-rigid state. Penile sensation, pleasure, ejaculation and orgasm are maintained. Most importantly, an IPI can restore a man’s sexual confidence. IPI’s are FDA-approved, have excellent reliability and satisfaction rates, and are covered by many insurance plans.

He most commonly turns to Actonel. Doctors do agree on one thing: Prevention is the best form of treatment for osteoporosis. “Get enough calcium in your younger years, and maybe you won’t be having this conversation with me at HG all,” says Ellis. healthcare guide/fall 2012 8/9/12 10:30:02 AM Infinity_pH15.indd 1 8/8/12 11:25 AM LIVING OPTIONS FOR SENIORS 55 + COMMUNITIES The Arbours at West Goshen Wisteria Lane, West Chester; (610) 692-7979, westrumhomes. com/westgoshen Athertyn 5109 Parkview Drive, Haverford; (610) 525-5110, athertyn.com The Charles C.

What? WHAT?? Sound familiar? The Journal of the American Medical Association reports that agerelated hearing loss is the third most prevalent chronic condition in seniors. Between 25 and 40 percent of people 65 years or older are hearing impaired. Yet, many of them resist getting hearing aids. “There’s a stigma surrounding hearing aids—that they’re bulky, stick out and make people look old,” says Dr. Andrew Chuma of Chester County Otolaryngology and Allergy Associates in Kennett Square. “But new technology has made a wide variety of hearing aids possible—many of which sit in the ear or just behind it and are almost invisible.” Chuma knows this first-hand. Born with otosclerosis, he wears a hearing aid. “Mine sits behind the ear; there’s a thin wire that leads to my ear drum, which is almost invisible,” says Chuma. Often, people don’t realize the severity of their impairment. “It’s a gradual loss and the brain compensates for it,” Chuma says. “People turn up the volume on TVs or telephones. The For an expanded brain signals other senses—especially version of this article, vision—to help.

Presbycusis is more serious than many people realize, because it has farreaching implications. “Over time and left untreated, it becomes a communication disorder,” Herman says. “The ability to hear high frequencies—doorbells, the phone, H34 www.mainlinetoday.com H&W feat hearing fall12.indd 1 l By Melissa Jacobs etc.—is usually the first to go. Then, presbycusis takes away the ability to hear letters and sounds at certain frequencies. People can’t hear some of what’s said within words and sentences; the brain loses the ability to discriminate between those sounds and process them.” When caught and treated early, presbycusis can be halted and sometimes reversed. With time and the right hearing aids, the brain might even relearn to distinguish sounds. “It could take months or years to recover, and if the loss is too severe, it might not happen,” says Chuma. “But it is possible for the brain to retrain itself to hear sounds. That’s only possible if the hearing aid is worn all the time so the brain hears background noise, complex sentences and the rest of the sound in the world. And, of course, the right hearing aid is required.” Hearing aids start at about $1,000 an ear, topping out at more than $2,500. They usually need to be replaced every five to seven years. Manufacturers continually update their technology and introduce new models, then stop making replacement parts for older ones. Hearing aids to alleviate presbycusis aren’t covered by most health-insurance plans, Medicaid or Medicare. But reimbursements are offered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program and some teachers’ unions. “I wish that more people would investigate hearing aids,” says Herman. “They vastly improve quality of life.” HG healthcare guide/fall 2012 8/8/12 10:15:06 AM Out of the Gate with a Proven Winner Choosing a retirement lifestyle is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make.
