摘要

As the "baby boomers," the largest generation in history, become elders, the unprecedented rise in the number of people aged over 60 years will dramatically expand market demand for medical and lifestyle solutions that will enable them to live healthier, longer, and more active lives. Now, more than ever, a critical need exists for the development of appropriate policies so that aging is seen as a resource and not as an isolating and segregating experience. Solid research elucidating the processes of aging must be translated into strategies for clinical practice in order to respond to the needs of an aging population.
