Tlll AGING POPULATION

Notwithstanding the heavy toll of the heart direasea and cancer which cause so many deaths from the age of 45 on. there has been a very great increase in the number of men rand women who live years past the allotted three score and ten years. As mentioned before, the life span today is about twenty yearl longer than it was just fifty years ago. Elderly people now out- number any other age group.

Some interesting facts and fig- ures are given us on the medical newspoges of the Journal of the American Medical Association in a report on Colorado's aging popula- tion and some chronic illness prob- lems. recently prepared by the Colorado State Department of Public Health.

1. From 1900 to 1950 the group of 65 years and older has multi- plied nearly all times. while the general population has multiplied only 2!.-i times.

2. In 1950. 8.7 per cent of the population was 65 and older in comparison with 2.6 per cent in 1900.

3. Of the total deaths among Colorado residents in 1950, 63 per cent were due to two broad group- llngs of chronic diseases: the car- diovascular-renal diseases (heart. bloodvessels. kidneys) and cancer. However, although these three dis- eases are found more often in the older ages. the report states that these diseases also took a heavy toll among the younger groups, ac- counting for 26 per cent (over one- qiiarter) of the deaths 5 to 1-1; 37 per cent at ages 24 to 44: 68 per cent at ages 45 to 64; and 78.2 per cent. among those 65 and older. when we remember that Color- ado, Arizona and other adjoining states are often the dwelling places of many Eastern men and women who have gone there because of ill

fires certainly prove the value of the dry, bracing climate for many pimple.

As every state and also Canada has the problem of chronic illness on their hands, it is gratifying to know that this Colorado report. along with extensive information in booklet form, is available on re- quest to the Colorado State De- partment. of Health.

It must be admitted that parts of Florida and California. while not so dry and bracing as Colorado. are often more helpful to patients with heart disease and high blood pressure because these patients are wntent to rest and "take it easy" which is the most important part of the treatment in these particular diseases.
