AB According  to  census  projections,  the  elderly  population  in  the  United  States,  defined  as  age  more  than  65  years,  is  experiencing  the  largest  growth  in  history.  Members  of  the  post-World  War  II  “baby  boom”  (75  million  people  born  from  1946  to  1964)  were  46–64  years  old  in  2010.  By  the  year  2030,  the  elderly  population  will  number  38  million  and,  by  2050,  1  in  5  Americans  will  be  elderly.1
