  • Speech-Language Pathology

Background:

  • The United States is projected to experience a substantial increase in its population aged 65 and older in the first half of the 21st century.
  • This expanding demographic will be highly heterogeneous, with significant variations in age, health status, and ethnicity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To document the projected growth of the elderly population in the US.
  • To describe the heterogeneity within this growing demographic.
  • To explore potential challenges for speech-language pathology services.

Main Methods:

  • Document analysis of demographic projections.
  • Literature review on aging, health disparities, and cultural influences on health perceptions.
