Biggest concerns for people as they get older:
• Health • Finances• Relationships
Why?
Maintaining good health, financial security, and strong relationships are key to staying independent.

The Wisconsin Institute for Healthy Aging (WIHA) helps older people stay well through evidence-based
programs.
• WIHA is a partnership of public and private organizations that promotes evidence-based programs to prevent disease and promote healthy living among older adults.

Why Evidence-Based Programs?
• Evidence-based programs have been researched, tested, and scientifically-proven to work.
• All of the programs WIHA offers are shown to help older people prevent the onset or progression of a disease, chronic condition, or other health problem.

What we do
• Develop, promote, and monitor the quality of products, programs, and services to support healthy aging
• Serve as a clearinghouse for evidence-based prevention program education and training
• Facilitate relationships between researchers and the community to promote aging research
• Monitor legislation and funding opportunities and advocate for good public policy initiatives that promote healthy aging

WIHA’s Evidence-Based Prevention Programs
• Living Well: A self-management workshop for people with one or more chronic (on-going) health problems
• Stepping On: A falls prevention self-management workshop for people at risk of falls
• Sure Step: A one-on-one falls prevention assessment in the home for people with cognitive impairments who are at risk of falling

Why Chronic Conditions?
• More than 1.7 million Americans die of a chronic disease each year
• 80% of older people have at least one; 50% have two or more
• 95% of health care spending is due to chronic conditions
• Two-thirds of all deaths are caused by four conditions: heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes

Why Falls Prevention?
• One in three adults age 65 and older falls each year; 20% - 30% suffer moderate to severe injuries that make it hard for them to get around or live independently
• Falls among older adults were projected to cost the health care system nationwide over $28 billion in 2010

• CAARN can barely keep up with requests for community research partnerships
• New disciplines – health sciences nutrition, pharmacy, social work, law, engineering, etc.
• Goal of Wisconsin’s researchers is to partner with WIHA’s CAARN.
