These programs are designed to assist you with managing your personal health, staying fit, and maintaining or improving quality of life. Small steps. At least 91% of older adults have at least one chronic condition and 77% have two or more. Diabetes affects 23% of older adults, and 1 in 3 older adults fall every year in the U.S. Most falls can be prevented.
