\nThe health message to aging boomers<\/b> is act now to prevent chronic diseases later, in particular, heart failure.\n<\/p>\n

\nBut that\u2019s easier said than done, according to Dr. Alex Clark,<\/b> a professor in the Faculty of Nursing at the University of Alberta.\n <\/p>\n


\nDR ALEX CLARK: <\/b> I think for the boomer generation particular barriers to health behavioral change are inevitably competing commitments. We often hear I\u2019m too busy to exercise. We often hear that food is too expensive if it\u2019s healthy food, fruit and vegetables. Accessing health services. Men are notoriously known for putting off seeking help. Sometimes for the beginning sign of a health problem, they\u2019ll often dismiss it or attribute it to something less threatening, So you know, in terms of accessing health services, getting the time and commitment to do that, that can be an issue for the boomer generation as well. <\/em>\n <\/p>\n

\nDr. Clark notes that unlike previous generations, boomers are less likely to do as their told, and tthis means they often don\u2019t follow treatments prescribed by their doctors and caregivers.\n<\/p>\n
