Americans are living longer than ever before and many seniors are living active, healthy and productive lives. A woman who is 65 today can expect to live, on average, another 19 years to age 84.

Many of you are using this extra time volunteering in your communities, traveling and spending more time with family and friends. Taking good care of your body and mind will help you enjoy your golden years. Key health issues for older women include cardiovascular disease (such as heart disease and stroke), cancer and mental health disorders.
