By the time a man is 60 years of age, his normal level of sexual intercourse has dropped by half. This is based on the average peak from around 18 to 25 years of age for a normal male. There are a variety of different health issues for men that can make engaging in sex after they are 60 years of age difficult.

There are both physical and mental problems for men that can make it difficult to get or maintain an erection. Even if the problems starts out being physical in nature, it can soon turn into a psychological issue as well. This is because a man can feel inadequate when he can no longer fulfill this role. He may become angry, upset, and even emotionally withdrawn because of it.

Even during sexual excitement, he may be thinking about it in the back of his mind. The anxiety of previously not being able to get or maintain an erection can certainly affect a man. The fear of it happening again can actually cause it to happen to the point where a man will avoid engaging in any type of intimacy that could lead to the woman wanting sexual intercourse to take place.

A good health and fitness program needs to focus on factors that prevent us from becoming unhealthy. One factor that has definitely a correlation with unhealthiness is obesity. The health consequences for being overweight or obese are vast and may include high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, gallbladder disease, sleep apnea and some cancers to name a few.

Losing weight and becoming healthy for obese and overweight people is imperative and well designed fitness software can support this. One way it can be helpful is to calculate a person’s calorie balance and correlate these numbers to their body measurements and vital signs. It is very encouraging and motivating to see yourself lose weight and in the same instance your blood pressure and cholesterol levels go down.

Weight loss all boils down to your calorie balance. If your intake is higher then you spend, you gain weight. In part 1, we talked about the calorie intake side of the calorie balance equation. Part 2 describes the requirements for the calories spent module.

Improve Veteran Mental Health

“Increasing numbers of Veterans are being diagnosed with mental health conditions, often coexisting with other medical problems.  More than 1.5 million of the 5.5 million Veterans seen last year had a mental health diagnosis.  This concept paper identifies how to address the following three areas:

Identify and test new comprehensive approaches to improve mental health through prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
Identify specific measures to track their effectiveness so we can allocate resources more efficiently.
Develop and test new treatment models to remove stigma associated with admitting problems and seeking help.” (reference VA 13 challenges)

Challenge/Problem Understanding 

War and terrorist interdictions have a devastating effect on the psyche of the military soldier. There are no predictable patterns to rely upon and random events occur from hidden explosives to sniper attacks to hostile suicides that put the soldier at harm’s way.  Such fear and anxiety provoking stress produce ideal conditions for creating human psychopathology.  When people know the direction of their threat and can predict its occurrence, little if any neurotic or psychotic behavior typically develops.  Since this is not what happens especially in a war against terrorist where unpredictability and randomness are common, it is not surprising that over 20% of the military are diagnosed with mental health problems.
