NIHSeniorHealth, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) consumer health Web site for older adults developed by the National Institute on Aging and the National Library of Medicine®, released its redesigned site in late June. As NIHSeniorHealth has grown from ten topics in 2003 to thirty-seven topics and added features such as exercise stories and more than ninety-five health videos, the site outgrew its original navigation structure. The new design (see below) allows users to find a topic more quickly, watch a video, or learn about other senior-friendly resources available from the NIH.

Homepage
The homepage includes enhanced navigation for health topics by First letter and Categories in the middle of the page. For example, Osteoporosis as a topic may be accessed by selecting the letter ‘O’ from the A to Z list or Bones and Joints under Categories. Each month a new or updated topic is highlighted in the Featured Topic section. The sections on Exercise Stories, Health Videos, and the Trainer’s Toolkit appear below the new navigation.
