Over one in eight Americans is age 65 or older, according to the latest statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau. The number of "older Americans" is approximately 41.4 million - an 18 percent increase from 2000. The 65 and older population is also expected to more than double to 92 million in 2060, according to a new report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services entitled, "A Profile of Older Americans 2012." The report also states that the population of those 85 years and older is projected to nearly triple from 5.7 million in 2011 to 14.1 million in 2040.
The report also provides the latest national demographic information on issues ranging from health care and health insurance coverage to disability and activity limitations for older Americans. More information is at: http://www.aoa.gov/AoARoot/Aging Statistics/Profile/2012/docs/2012profile.pdf

This is really a great hit to observe. It is our pleasure to have such elderly persons in our society. Many organisations, charities out there to look after people aged 65 and above.
