Chapter 14
1. Describe the modern profile of America’s aging population
* Obesity rates among adults ages 60 and older have been increasing, standing at about 41 percent in 2015-2016
* Education levels are increasing. Among people ages 65 and older in 1965, only 5 percent had completed a bachelor’s degree or more. By 2018, this share had risen to 29 percent
* Average U.S. life expectancy increased from 68 years in 1950 to 78.6 years in 2017, in large part due to the reduction in mortality at older ages.
* The gender gap in life expectancy is narrowing. In 1990, a seven-year gap in life expectancy existed between men and women. By 2017, this gap had narrowed to five years (76.1 years versus 81.1 years).
* The poverty rate for Americans ages 65 and older has dropped sharply during the past 50 years, from nearly 30 percent in 1966 to 9 percent today
* More older adults are divorced compared with previous generations. The share of divorced women ages 65 and older increased from 3 percent in 1980 to 14 percent in 2018, and for men from 4 percent to 11 percent during the same period
2. Which factors are enhancing health during advanced years currently?
* Exercise on a daily basis.
* Continue to maintain a healthy lifestyle and make adjustments for any changes in your function (e.g., hearing, vision, flexibility or strength).
* Engaging in routine preventive health behaviors (e.g., get immunizations for flu and pneumonia).
3. What are some safety issues involving the elderly today?
* Slips and Falls: Slips and falls are the main cause of injury in a home, and the complications that can result are usually much worse than a scrape or a bruise
* Fires: Fires are one of the primary safety issues for the elderly. They may be deadly, but thankfully, there are many ways to prevent, put out, and escape from their wrath.
* Electric Shock: A very real safety issue for the elderly that we don’t often give much thought to is electric shock
* Medicine and accidental poisoning: Mixing up prescription medicines can be deadly.
* Improper Lighting: A very simple-to-fix safety issue for the elderly is improper lighting.
4. What are some characteristics of people aging?
* morbidity or invalidism increases markedly
* survival curves show a rapid decline, and accident proneness increases.
* Marked alterations in functions must be expected; for example, increasing difficulty in the dark, increasing liability to falls, increasing deaths from falls,
* increasing reduction of mobility long before any real infirmity may arise.
* A whole range of psychological performance tests shows evidence of deterioration; for example, in the accuracy of judgment,
* Paced tasks are extremely difficult for the elderly, especially when the pacing is combined with continuous bodily activity or movement or muscular work
* There is slowing of sensory processes and central control, of psychological and somatic adjustment reactions, and of the perceptual organization of incoming stimuli within the central nervous system

* Marital status Married people have lower mortality rates than those who were never married, are divorced, or are widowed, according to IFA.
* Lifestyle Historically, lifestyle factors that affect mortality include an unhealthy diet, inadequate exercise, tobacco use, excessive use of alcohol, risky behaviors, food safety, workplace safety, and motor ve...
