PRESS RELEASE

Ken Brummel-Smith, chair of the department of geriatrics at the Florida State University College of Medicine, said that essentially, you are only as old as you feel. "You can't have an expectation based on age," Brummel-Smith said. With regard to health issues that come up later in life, everyone is different, so the way health problems affect people is different. In the work place, it is not so much a person's disability that is the issue, he said. "It's can they do the job."
