Aging Baby Boomers--a blessing or challenge for driver licensing authorities. Traffic Inj Prev. 2008 Aug;9(4):379-86 Authors: Dobbs BM INTRODUCTION: In less than 5 years, the first wave of Baby Boomers will begin turning 65, with the last wave of Boomers entering their senior years in January 2029. Currently, Boomers make up a significant percentage of the population in Canada, the United States, and other developed countries. The Baby boom generation has had a profound impact on our society over the last six decades, and this large cohort will continue to exert its influence for several decades to come. Central to this article is the rapid growth in the number of persons 65 years of age and older, beginning in 2011, with a corresponding increase in the number of older drivers. The demographic shift has important implications for licensing authorities, the regulatory bodies charged with licensing and 'fitness to drive' decisions. OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this paper are to summarize the published scientific literature on licensing policies and procedures currently in use for older drivers, discuss their limitations, and provide recommendations for meeting the upcoming challenges of an Aging Baby boomer population of drivers. METHOD: Online searches were conducted using the following databases: PsycINFO, MEDLINE, Scopus, and TRIS. Google and Google Scholar also were searched for scientific articles. References identified from databa ...

The state has too many nursing home beds now, but won't have enough 10 to 15 years from now when Baby Boomers are expected to fill them, nursing home owners told a House committee Tuesday. Nursing home operators, pinched by what they say are inadequate state reimbursement rates, will find it hard to stay in business until then.

Once perky buttocks are reaching toward the floor and flesh is no longer tight but loose and beginning to sag. ...
