After they both turned another year older last month, it seems Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan are starting to panic about their health and what the future might hold.
Judy, who turned 76, has spoken out about her fears of ageing and the health issues that come with it, reflecting, 'Perhaps there's been a subtle but dynamic shift in the way we regard the real-life consequences of ageing. But if life expectancy has risen dramatically in the last two or three decades, it's come at a price; it's brought with it a host of anxieties mostly unknown to our grandparents' generation, and the generations before."
DEMENTIA DREAD
Judy continued, 'Dementia's the big one, obviously. Yes, "getting on" has long been associated with absent-mindedness and confusion, but until at least the mid-20th century most people conked out well before dementia really sank its teeth in.
Sadly, today it's the leading cause of death in the country.
'Unlike our grandparents - who'd never even heard the words "dementia" or "Alzheimer's" - we worry about it.
