摘要：As our planet ages, so do its inhabitants. According to a 2011 Population Reference Bureau report, population groups of those 65 and older are projected to account for 16 percent of the global population by 2050 (14). The number of those aged 65 and older is expected to eclipse the population of those four years and younger. The rapid growth in our global aged population is attributable to concomitant medicinal and technological advances arising in developed countries and an increase infant mortality rates throughout developing parts of the world. By 2030, nearly twenty percent of the US population will be 65 years or older (18). Many expect the already fractured US healthcare system to buckle once the remainder of the baby boomer generation turns 65. (Giandonato J. Policastro C.D.
