OLD AGE ain't what it used to be. The face of aging in the United States is rapidly and dramatically changing--it's youthful, vigorous, active and employed well past typical retirement age, sometimes in second careers.
It's the season of the silver foxes and the satin dolls. Composer and music legend Quincy Jones, 73, told one writer, "When you're over the hill, that's when you pick up speed." And the over-the-hill gang is doing just that, picking up new passengers along the way. According to U.S. Census data, by 2030, 1 of 5 Americans will be 65 or olden The older population is projected to double from 36 million in 2003 to 72 million in 2030, and to increase from 12 percent to 20 percent of the population in the same time frame. By 2050, the older population is projected to number 86.7 million.
This year, for example, the first members of the post-World War II Baby Boom generation (born between 1946 and 1964) turn 60, including people like celebrities Al Green, Ben Vereen, Reggie Jackson and Greg Gumbel, and many observers expect this group and their sheer numbers to have a heavy influence on the process of aging. They expect this activist group to challenge the status quo on aging as it has challenged every other point in their lives.
Sociologists expect that the baby boomers are likely to extend midlife well into what used to be considered "old age." They will continue to work longer, and responsibilities such as paying for college or having children at home already are extending to older ages. They also are likely to enjoy better health and remain "actively engaged" longer than previous generations. The seniors of the senior class, the group 85 and older, is currently the fastest-growing segment of the entire population, with expected growth from 4 million people today to 19 million by 2050.

A new look at 'old age': what used to be considered "over the hill" has become a time of vigor, vitality and great expectations
