U.S. Population Aged 65 Years
and Older, actual and Projected, 1900-2030
|
The U.S. population, as is true with most developed countries, is aging. Also,
the absolute number of older persons is projected to double by 2030 as the large
�baby boom� generation ages. However, the absolute number of older persons
in developing countries, such as India and China is increasing, as well, so, a
worldwide aging challenge exists. Therefore, epidemiologic studies of aging and
age-associated diseases have national and international relevance.
