Scientists in the United States conducted a study in connection with the increase in life expectancy in developed countries, which is provided by a higher level of medicine and the use of time-tested medicines, for more details see http://vikna.if.ua/cikavo/105417/view . Scientists predict that the number of Americans turning 65 will increase over the next couple of decades. This suggests that the age boom will amplify the problems people face as the population ages.
The burden on healthcare
One of the most serious age-related problems will be in healthcare. Older obesity rates are expected to continue to rise. Some experts believe this will increase rates of chronic illness, disability and death.
The number of Americans living with Alzheimer's will increase as the population ages. Numerous studies predict at least 30 million new cases by 2050.
The economy will also feel the impact, some experts say
The researchers say improvements in the care of the elderly and the use of more modern medicine will help reduce the impact.
Experts are also focused on changing the cultural view of aging to be more positive.
One of the most important problems is the fact that with age the population will experience a lack of care.
Lack of material support will also create problems. Almost a quarter of older Americans do not think their savings will last long enough.
The housing market will also feel the impact
Millions of homes will not go on sale as older homeowners extend their tenure. Experts believe that this could provide a significant reduction in the supply of houses for purchase by the younger generation.
