TAILIEUCHUNG - The State of Aging and Health in America

In these experiments the choices involved gambles for everyday objects (. a coffee mug). It has been suggested that observed differences are due to an asymmetry of preferences between losses and gains, which might be exacerbated by age. Finally, both younger and older subjects participated in beauty contest games, in which strategic thinking plays a central role.

The first section of the report The Health of Older Americans presents data that illustrate changes that have taken place during the past two decades in several important measures of older Americans health. Five key measures show trends in life expectancy death rates chronic disease disability and self-rated health status. The second and third sections present the national and state-by-state Report Card on Healthy Aging. The Report Card includes 10 indicators divided into three groups Health Behaviors Preventive Care and Cancer Screening Fall-Related Deaths and Injuries The Report Card grades the nation and the states based on targets set for the older population in Healthy People 2000 a national effort to improve health by establishing health targets and measuring progress see Appendix Table 5 . The Report Card uses a Pass or Fail grading system based on whether the nation and states met or failed to meet a target. The fourth section of the report Mental Health and Aging presents challenges in treating mental illness among the elderly. The section focuses on the treatment of depression in later life because most research on mental health services and the management of mental disorders relates to depressive disorders. The fifth section Training the Health Care Workforce Present and Future focuses on the growing gap between older Americans health care needs and the knowledge of health professionals who care for them. Executive Summary The mission of the Merck Institute of Aging Health is to improve the health independence and quality of life of older adults to help them not only survive but thrive. We hope this Report will focus the national spotlight on the obstacles to healthy aging and serve as a catalyst for improvement and advancement. We hope that health care .
