The rapid increase in the population aged 65 and older is largely attributed to baby boomers, who have begun to reach this age since 2011. This demographic shift has significant implications as many individuals in their 60s are experiencing changes in lifestyle, family dynamics, and health challenges. Experts emphasize the diversity in aging experiences; two individuals of the same age can have vastly different health and vitality, influenced by genetics, lifestyle, and socio-economic factors. It's essential to consider these variables when discussing health and well-being among older adults.
