Abstract
Models for forecasting changes in mortality, morbidity, and disability in elderly populations are essential to national and state policies and health and social programs. The rapid growth of the elderly and oldest-old populations have implications for the size and long-term fiscal soundness of programs, such as U.S. Social Security and Medicare. Less well understood are qualitative health and functional changes of future elderly populations and how changes affect federal and state health policy, public and private health-care providers, and private acute and long-term care (LTC) insurance.
