Exercise 2-1
In 2012, the Alliance of Aging Research established the Healthspan Campaign, a coalition of organizations committed to solving the challenges brought about by the aging of the American pop-ulation. With each passing year, the percentage of people in the United States-and much of the world–over age 65 increases. This “Silver Isunami” is expected to bring a flood of chronic disease and disabilities due to aging that could overwhelm the health care systems of many nations. Watch the films The Healthspan Imperative and What Is the Silver Tsunami? at www. healthspancampaign org.
Discuss the effect of the aging population on our health system, and present recommendations for how these challenges could be addressed.
