Elder Index shows millions of American seniors can’t afford basic living costs

WASHINGTON - A recent report from researchers at the University of Massachusetts-Boston found that rising inflation has made it difficult for millions of elderly Americans to afford basic needs. The report published in the university’s Elder Index states that half of older women as well as 45% of older men who live alone are classified as living under federal poverty standards.The index accounts for health care, food, housing and transportation costs. In 2020, the index found that 2 million senior couples were considered "financially insecure" based on their incomes compared with the cost of living. Despite these alarming findings, the cost of living isn’t going down.Inflation surged in June and workers' average wages accelerated in the spring — signs that Americans won't likely feel any relief from rising prices anytime soon and that the Federal Reserve will feel compelled to raise borrowing costs further.An inflation gauge closely tracked by the Fed jumped 6.8% in June from a year ago, the government said Friday, the biggest such jump in four decades. Much of the increase was driven by energy and food.On a month-to-month basis, too, prices surged 1% in June, the biggest such rise since 2005.

Wheat and barley shortage: How Russia-Ukraine war triggered a global food crisis

FILE PHOTO by David Rogers/Getty Images LONDON (AP) - Russian hostilities in Ukraine are preventing grain from leaving the "breadbasket of the world" and making food more expensive across the globe, threatening to worsen shortages, hunger and political instability in developing countries.Together, Russia and Ukraine export nearly a third of the world’s wheat and barley, more than 70% of its sunflower oil and are big suppliers of corn. Russia is the top global fertilizer producer.World food prices were already climbing, and the war made things worse, preventing some 20 million tons of Ukrainian grain from getting to the Middle East, North Africa and parts of Asia.Weeks of negotiations on safe corridors to get grain out of Ukraine's Black Sea ports have made little progress, with urgency rising as the summer harvest season arrives."This needs to happen in the next couple of months (or) it’s going to be horrific,’’ said Anna Nagurney, who studies crisis management at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and is on the board of the Kyiv School of Economics.She says 400 million people worldwide rely on Ukrainian food supplies.

Covid-19: Diabetes and long Covid symptoms: Here's what the latest study says

Diabetes and long Covid: Interestingly, according to three studies, diabetes patients were up to four times more likely to develop long Covid compared to people without diabetes, as per a presentation conducted on Sunday at the annual Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association. Additionally, the researchers noted that diabetes appears to be "a potent risk factor" for long Covid but their findings are preliminary because the studies used different methods, definitions of long Covid, and follow-up times, and some looked at hospitalized patients while others focused on people with milder cases of Covid-19. However, it is worth noting that the researchers have said that more high-quality studies across multiple populations and settings are needed to determine if diabetes is indeed a risk factor" for long Covid.

Monkeypox: What you should know as the disease spreads around the world

PHOENIX - On May 18, officials with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health reported the first case of monkeypox in the United States this year.News of the monkeypox case comes as health officials in a number of European countries report multiple cases of the disease.Here's what you should know about the rare disease.According to officials with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, monkeypox is caused by a virus that is in the same genus of viruses that causes smallpox.Monkeypox, according to the CDC, was first discovered in 1958, following two outbreaks of a pox-like disease in colonies of monkeys that were kept for research.The first human case of the disease was recorded in a country now known as the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1970, during a period of intensified effort to eliminate smallpox.
