Neglecting our older population for the younger population is not what is being implied. The "baby boomers- are now becoming the elderly population and need to be addressed. Addressing the younger generation now will hopefully lessen the pressures as they become older. The United States population has tripled since the 1900's. Adults ages 65 years and older have increased from 3.1 million in 1900 to 33.9 million currently. At this rate by 2030 the number of older Americans will be more than 70 million (CDC1, 2001). One in every 5 Americans will be a senior citizen. This increase in the elderly population will affect health care cost and health promoting techniques. As more of the American population gets older, it becomes necessary to educate them and provide them with resources now. Americans need to know where they can go to get the proper treatment. They should be aware of what resources are available outside of a doctor's office and hospital. Chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and arthritis, will be the most problematic among older Americans. There is an Arthritis Self Help Course available that educates the public on arthritis and the management of pain and minimization of symptoms. Adults are taught how early diagnosis and appropriate treatments are important in the management of arthritis. The Arthritis Self Help Course is proven to help adults reduce arthritis pain by as much as 20%. Those adults who enrolled in the self help course were better able to understand arthritis and physicians visits declined by 40%. However this wonderful program reaches less than 1% of the population despite its positive outcomes (CDC1, 2001). Community education and outreach programs in most areas are nonexistent or lack resources to educate the public on what is available to them. Those who are in charge of these programs lack the training and expertise to find the resources for what is available to their community.
