Elderly Should Heed Warning About Heat
A Kent State University study says that often elderly individuals do not heed warnings to make sure they are careful in the heat. The study cites that the elderly tell researchers they don't heed the warnings because they don't feel as old as their age.
On today's edition of "Mornings With Ken & Bernie" the story about the elderly not heeing the warnings sparked a discussion about age. Callers had a variety of things to express, with some saying people are getting older, but staying healthier longer.
