View Award Description

THE NATIONAL MINORITY AGING ORGANIZATIONS TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE CENTERS PROGRAM - The project goal is to reduce obesity as a risk factor leading to chronic diseases among older African Americans. The project focus is on reducing the risk for conditions such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, kidney failure, glaucoma, and other obesity related diseases. Strategy is based on the concept formally known as compression of morbidity. The concept is expressed in the reduction of the total period of disability, which is the main goal of prevention initiatives targeted to older individuals. Lifestyle changes that complement the strategy often reduce the risk of one disease, while delaying or reducing the risk of others as well. Project objectives: 1) increase the level of knowledge of African American seniors about self care strategies related to overweight and obesity; 2) increase awareness of African American seniors about health disparities in their communities; 3) achieve active weight loss among the seniors participating in the Healing Circle component of the project; 4) increase the level of physical activity among seniors participating in the project; and 5) engage healing circle participants in community health advocacy activities. Also, NCBA will implement the web site "Senior Health News Network" (SHNN) to serve as a realtime information portal for disseminating late breaking news, health and wellness related stories. The target population includes African American individuals age 50 and above, their families and caregivers. Partners include Group Ministries of Baltimore, MD and Buffalo, NY; AAAs in Richmond, VA, Detroit, MI, and Hinds County, MS; and the Aging and Title V Senior Community Service Networks.
