Helped by medical advances and greater awareness about health, the average lifespan is longer than ever, and people are remaining healthy and active well into old age. People entering retirement can look forward to many years of healthy, active living.

However, older adults still face many potential health issues. They may be affected by chronic conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes, which puts them at greater risk of stroke and heart disease. They also are susceptible to age-associated conditions including osteoporosis and dementia that are correlated with age. Older adults will have an increasing need for specialized expertise to help manage their complex health care issues.
