monitoring health status response, health and medicine homework help
apa format, etc.
Thank you for beginning this discussion. Good discussion on the measuring the health status of individuals aged 15 – 64. However, I am always concerned with the 65+ population. With the baby boomer generation reaching 65 beginning in 2011, we are experiencing an epidemiological shift in demographics. According to data from the Administration on Aging, older adults 65+, represented 12.9% of the U.S. population (36 million). By 2030, this population will increase to 19% (72 million – double).
What do you think are the benefits of this knowledge and the benefits of monitoring the health status this population?
