Older Americans 2012: Key Indicators of Well-Being
A federal interagency group has released an updated comprehensive federal look at aging, titled, “Older Americans 2012: Key Indicators of Well-Being.” The report tracks trends at regular intervals to see how older people are faring as the U.S. population grows older. According to a National Institute on Aging summary, “In 2010, 40 million people age 65 and over accounted for 13 percent of the total population in the United States. In 2030, the number and proportion of older Americans is expected to grow significantly — to 72 million, representing nearly 20 percent of the population said the report, by the Federal Interagency Forum on Aging-Related Statistics.”
