Daily use of a multivitamin by older adults could be an inexpensive
way to safeguard health, according to a new study published in the
Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
Specifically, adults over 65 taking a multivitamin might be able to
avoid hospitalization associated with conditions such pneumonia and
urinary tract infections, in addition to fatal and non-fatal heart
attacks.
This study was the first of its kind and included a review of the
most rigorous research available. “This is big news….with very
little outlay there could be a savings of more than $1.6 billion for
Medicare.”
The study’s findings also indicate a significant number of older
adults do not consume the appropriate amounts or types of food
necessary to meet their energy or nutritional needs. A multivitamin
becomes even more important under these circumstances.
This news coupled with the recent JAMA recommendation that everyone,
regardless of age or health status should take a multivitamin,
further strengthens our continued commitment to One Life’s Daily
Multiple.
