## Resource

New research from the University of Hawaii reveals Native Hawaiians face mobility challenges like walking and balance issues earlier and more severely than other ethnic groups—28% of those aged 55+ report limitations, compared to 17-19% in other groups. Data collected over three years shows these problems demand earlier intervention, not just at age 65, since mobility is key to independence and community connection. Interestingly, higher income correlates with fewer mobility issues, pointing to economic factors as a major influence on physical health. Published in a CDC journal, this study underscores a critical health disparity needing urgent attention. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
