The seniors' health medical team at University of Colorado Hospital is extensively trained to care for elderly patients.
We understand how major diseases tie to the aging process. We also conduct research on health issues that affect seniors. This research helps us find new ways for seniors to live longer, more active lives.
What is Seniors’ Health (Gerontology)?
One in eight Americans is now age 65 or older. By the year 2030, this is expected to increase to one in every five Americans. The entire senior population is projected to double to 65 million by the year 2030, when seniors will account for 22 percent of the population.
As seniors age, the effects of health conditions and diseases can change. It is important for seniors receive appropriate physical, social and emotional care. These factors work together to help maintain the best health possible.
