July was a great month for Global Health Aging. While only two articles were published, we focused on relevant topics such as the Olympic Games and the stigma of loneliness. Many stereotypes surround older people and these articles dispel some myths and provide new insight. Our readership also increased on the site and social media outlets. Let’s take a look at what happened in July 2016.
