Free Resources from the National Institute on Aging

Posted on March 31, 2011 by Juliet Keene

Resources and guidelines on health, wellness, and caregiving are available from the National Institute on Aging, a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health.  The NIA website contains information on clinical trials, research programs and now over 125 free booklets, fact sheets and other materials that can be downloaded and printed on topics such as:

  • Healthy aging
  • Exercise and physical activity
  • Sleep
  • Choosing a doctor
  • Dietary supplements
  • Materials to help with the challenges of caring for a parent, partner, or friend. 
  • Tip sheets on legal, financial, and medical issues

NIA also has a website for Spanish-speaking users.  I have frequently been asked where to find this sort of information, which is widely available online. Most of us just don’t know where to look.
