Elderly
Researcher feels need
for emphasis on elderly
The average life span of an
individual in this country has
doubled in the past 200 years,
but many people who live to a
“ripe age” feel rotten. They
feel “rotten" because they are
members of what has been
described as the most
universally oppressed minority
group in America—the aged.
Dr. Robert Greenblatt, an
internationally recognized
researcher in the fields of
geriatrics and endocrinology
and professor emeritus, Dept,
of Endocrinology at the Medical
College of Georgia in Augusta
has done extensive work with
problems related to aging.
As past president of one of the
leading organizations involved
in studying the problems of the
aged, Dr. Greenblatt has been

instrumental In helping to bring
about some changes in the way
elderly citizens are viewed in
today’s society.
“During my presidency,
we were able to help, along with
other influential societies like
the Gerontological Society, to
establish the National Institute
of Aging where research is
conducted on the problems of
aging,” said Dr. Greenblatt.
“The organization also
encourages and gives financial
support to various medical
schools that have research
projects on aging,” he added.
One of the reports issued by
the National Institute of Aging
states that of 114 medical
schools in the country only 31
have elective courses in
geriatrics.
Dr. Greenblatt feels every
medical school should include
courses dealing with the
process of aging and the
problems of aging. He said, in
addition to the problem of
medical students not receiving
specialized training to deal with
elderly patients, some doctors
don’t take the ills of senior
citizens seriously, which results
in the patient thinking the
doctor doesn’t care.
“I’m not necessarily saying
that we should have a speciality
for geriatricians, like
pediatricians, but I think the
importance of geriatrics should
be encouraged as a part of the
curriculum in medical schools

so that doctors, whatever their
speciality is, will have a
greater appreciation of the
elderly who now represent 10
percent of our total population,”
said Dr. Greenblatt.
Dr. Greenblatt believes
More kids learn to ride bicycles or master the art of roller
skating during the few days that follow Christmas than at
any other time. Lending credence to that idea is four
years-old Latonya Reeves (center). With the help of her
cousins, Teresa Taylor (I) and Gus Taylor, Latonya is
giving it a determined whirl on her new bike , flowered
basket, training wheels and all.
“hardening of the heart” in the
spiritual Biblical sense, is as
damaging as the actual
hardening of the arteries. “I
think you make your heaven
and hell on earth—give more
and you receive more,” he
said. “Many of us as we age
begin to find out, giving softens
your blood vessels.”
Dr. Greenblatt added,
scientist have and are
continuing to increase the
duration of life, it is up to
mankind to increase the
quality of life.
