This paper will discuss the aging (elderly) population of the United States; there has been a significant increase in elderly population since 2011. The elderly population is defined as those individuals aged 65 and over (Hogan‚ Ortman‚ and Velkoff‚ 2014.) However‚ this increase is largely responsible due to the baby boomers‚ as they began to turn 65 in 2011; however it is projected that by 2050‚ the surviving baby boomers will be over the age 85 (Hogan‚ Perez‚ and Bell‚ 2008.)

Structural changes Vitreous body There is a significant structural change during aging‚ consisting of a transition from a clear gel in young to a fibrous structure in adults. In old age there is advanced liquefaction with thickening and tortuosity of vitreous fibers‚ and collapse (syneresis) of vitreous (Fig. 2.3). Postmortem studies80 found syneresis in 70% of subjects in the eighth decade. Syneresis occurs earlier and is more extensive in myopic eyes‚81 and is accelerated with inflammation‚ trauma

indistinct. Normal aging is due to physiological processes over a person’s lifetime‚ in which the biological clock controls development and survival of nerve cells. That does not exclude a spectrum of variable levels of health or a continuum within normal aging‚ as well as between normal and pathological aging. At one end there are individuals with “successful aging” [34]. At the other end‚ we find frail‚ easily incompensated people. According to the “threshold hypothesis” of normal aging‚ the reserve

I did this on two separate occasions‚ once at home for about a half an hour while everyone was home and I was doing my normal morning routine‚ then for about forty-five minutes in public with a group of friends. Initially when I put the ear plugs

Aging is the accumulation of physiological and psychological changes over time. The Office of National Statistics showed that the aging population and increased prevalence of long-term conditions have a significant impact on health and social care and may require £5 billion additional expenditure by 2018 (ONS 2015). Common conditions of older age receive less investment and lower-quality care than general medical conditions prevalent in mid-life (Steel et al.‚ 2008)As budgets continue to tighten
