Chronic Illness Grows

By age 65, nearly nine out of 10 Americans will have at least one chronic condition; but a survey conducted by Roper/GfK finds that most people sorely underestimate that figure, reports the Alliance for Aging Research.

Furthermore, the survey demonstrates a lack of knowledge among Americans when it comes to their chances of getting cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and neurological disorders such as Alzheimers disease as they age.

The Alliance for Aging Research introduces The Silver Book: Chronic Disease and Medical Innovation in an Aging Nation. The Silver Book is an almanac that draws upon scores of studies and analyses by government, industry, private organizations and prominent economists.

The Alliance for Aging Research will keep the almanac current in hopes that it will continue to inform decision-making and policy innovations important to our aging society.
