Maintaining good health enables older people to remain independent, stay socially engaged, and enjoy a good quality of life. Older women, however, face distinctly different challenges to maintaining their health compared with older men. Older women live longer, develop different chronic conditions, and experience a higher prevalence of functional limitations than older men. Awareness of these differences may enable the health care needs of older women to be addressed more effectively.

Health Statistics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The series of reports on Aging trends was developed with support from the National Institute on Aging and its purpose is to monitor the health of the aging population. By providing this type of information, we hope to help focus research on the most effective ways to use resources and craft health policy to promote longer, healthier lives. This report presents information on the leading causes of death for older persons in the United States and the recent trends in mortality for this group and is primarily based on data available in the Data Warehouse on Trends in Health and Aging (www.cdc.gov/ nchs/agingact.htm).

Significant trends in mortality among the elderly have emerged: Death from heart disease and atherosclerosis has declined dramatically for all groups. Death from cancer decreased for men in the 1990’s after increasing in the previous 2 decades. Hypertension declined among older white men, but drastically increased among older black men. Biomedical advances, public health initiatives, and social changes may reduce mortality and increase longevity. Overview Since 1900, life expectancy in the United States has dramatically increased, and the principal causes of death have changed. At the beginning of the 20 century, many Americans died young. Most did not live past the age of 65, their lives often abruptly ended by one of a variety of deadly infectious diseases. But over time, death rates dropped at all ages, most dramatically for the young. By the dawn of the 21 century, the vast majority of children born in any given year could expect to live through childhood and into their eighth decade or beyond. Percent of newborns living to age 65

• Demand for nursing home and other health-care services for the eldely will increase significantly as the baby-boomers age, presenting formidable challenges. Overview Nursing homes are an important component of health services for the elderly population. Specifically, nursing homes or skilled nursing facilities provide 24-hour nursing care to sick or disabled individuals who do not require expensive inpatient hospital services, but cannot be cared for at home through home health care or other community options. Patients who have been critically ill or have undergone surgery will often be admitted to a nursing home for a short stay until they are well enough to return to the community. Other short stay residents may be too ill to be cared for at home and will enter the nursing home for a short period before death. Some patients admitted to nursing homes are not acutely ill, but are too disabled to care for themselves. These patients may have had family or other informal caregivers who could no longer care for them as cognitive impairment, incontinence, or other disabilities worsened. These residents may remain in the nursing home for a longer stay, perhaps years.
