Selected problems of aging

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

The population of the world is aging due to decreasing fertility and mortality rates. By 2030 one in five Americans will be above the age of 65. The fastest-growing segment of all age-groups is that of age 85 and above in the USA. Seniors disproportionately use all aspects of health services. Clinicians treating this population face the challenge not only of treating chronically ill adults but also in helping to delay or prevent the onset of chronic disease. This chapter provides information on issues that are common to this population and are valuable to the family physician who cares for these patients.
