Mental well-being is not just about feeling good; it's integral to healthy aging! A recent study published in the journal Nature Human Behavior suggests that mental well-being plays a crucial role in healthy aging, independent of socioeconomic factors. The study indicated that key mediators in this relationship include lifestyle factors, physical functions, diseases, and behaviors. This is why having comprehensive fitness and wellness benefits like Aaptiv Advantage within Medicare plans is crucial for beneficiaries' lifestyles and habits. Aaptiv Advantage was designed with the older population in mind, offering an all-in-one app that can be easily integrated into their daily lives. It includes mental health content to promote well-being, an in-person fitness network, and on-demand workouts, enabling Medicare beneficiaries to adapt their lifestyles easily to support healthy aging.

As the population ages rapidly, maintaining mobility has never been more crucial. Mobility encompasses not just movement but also physical stamina, strength, balance, and flexibility—the pillars of healthy, active aging. A lack of attention to mobility can lead to an array of health issues in older adults, including falls, muscle loss, stiffness, pain, and susceptibility to musculoskeletal disorders. Fortunately, Aaptiv's upcoming innovative feature for Medicare, Mobility SmartCoach, will work to prevent MSK issues and improve mobility among older adults.

Recently, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) updated the methodology for calculating Medicare Advantage plans’ Star Ratings for 2024. These changes resulted in lower Star Ratings for many plans, which in turn negatively impacted their 2025 Quality payments. In response to several court rulings, CMS decided to recalculate the Star Ratings using the 2023 methodology, allowing plans the opportunity to refile for 2025. If your plan was affected by these recalculations and you are considering refiling, this is an excellent opportunity to rethink how you can enhance member experience and engagement. Our Medicare benefits offering, Aaptiv Advantage, is designed with Medicare beneficiaries in mind and can play a crucial role in improving your Star Ratings. With a fitness network of over 27,000 gym and boutique studio locations, AI-powered personalized workouts, and 9,500+ on-demand sessions, Medicare beneficiaries can work out anytime, anywhere. Reach out to Pete English or visit https://lnkd.in/gzsWuFEk for more information about Aaptiv Advantage.

New research on Nature.com has shown the connection between physical and psychological determinants of aging and cognitive performance in older adults. Particularly, the factors include muscle strength, functional mobility, cardiorespiratory fitness, quality of life, and daily activities. Studies have shown that older adults who exhibit cognitive impairment often demonstrate lower muscle strength, reduced functional mobility, and diminished cardiorespiratory fitness. However, it is shown that daily exercise can greatly improve cognition, and can help reduce the risk of dementia. With a solution like Aaptiv Advantage, older adults can create a daily habit and get physical activity by visiting one of the 27,000+ gym or fitness studio locations or doing AI-powered personalized workouts from their phones.
