Calculating State-Level Estimates of Upcoming Older Adult Health Needs

Conclusions: Compared with older adults, the health profile of middle-aged adults in this state appears to have worsened much more rapidly in the past 15 years, indicating that these adults will have many more health-related needs when they become seniors. While this model is less sophisticated than others using longitudinal data, it provides the state-level data that are often more compelling to state policy makers.
