A study led by the University of Michigan reveals a major gap in awareness of the condition.

The vast majority of people over the age of 50 now look for health information on the internet, and a poll from the University of Michigan finds that nearly three-quarters of the people polled would not trust or have very little trust in information that was generated by artificial intelligence. This was concerning to the doctor who directed the poll, as 20% of adults said they have little or no confidence they could spot health misinformation. And that number goes even higher among adults with poor physical or mental health.

Last week, an 11-year-old boy drowned while swimming in Lake Erie as his family visited a beach in Euclid. Incidents like this are preventable, and doctors have some tips on how to keep your day of fun from ending up in the ER. Ellie Janszen tells us how. In the summer heat, people look for any way to get in the water and cool off. Whether in a pool, lake, or ocean, experts urge that enjoying the water comes with known dangers.

Cookouts and bonfires are summer pastimes, and health experts are urging people to enjoy them responsibly. In addition to the risk of burns from grills and other cooking equipment, the metal wires from grill brushes can be dangerous.

Emergency physicians say to take extra care when buying and using a grill brush.

More than 20 million Americans have nerve damage in their extremities, known as neuropathy, but experts suggest that number could be significantly higher. A study conducted by the University of Michigan and Hurley Medical Center found that nearly three-quarters of patients at a primary care clinic had nerve damage, and 75% of it was undiagnosed. The neurologist who led the study says while they knew neuropathy was common, they found so much more than they expected. 

Some parents may battle their kids every night when it is time to go to bed and a new poll finds out the measures that parents take to get their kids to go to sleep. Young children need quality sleep to support growth and development but getting kids to sleep can be difficult. A new poll from University of Michigan Health CS Mott Children's Hospital finds that nearly one in five parents of children between the ages of one and six years old sometimes or often give their child melatonin to help with sleep. The poll's co-director says while many melatonin products are advertised as for kids, parents should be cautious before giving them to their children. 

As we age, our health is often at the top of our minds. A new national poll from the University of Michigan finds the cost of many types of health care at the top of many older adults’ lists of health-related concerns. The poll found that 56% of people over 50 say they are very concerned about the cost of medical care for older people in their community, and nearly as many said the same about the cost of prescription drugs. The cost of health insurance and dental care were also top concerns.
