AB  - The  population  of  the  United  States,  like  that  of  other  industrialized  nations,  is  aging.  The  US  population  of  adults  age  ≥65  years  increased  at  a  faster  rate  (15.1%)  between  2000  and  2010  than  did  the  total  US  population  (9.7%).  Between  the  years  2010  and  2050,  the  number  of  Americans  ≥65  years  old  is  projected  to  have  doubled.  In  the  rapidly  changing  arena  of  healthcare  financing  and  delivery,  services  that  promote  or  improve  functional  abilities,  prevent  or  delay  disease  progression,  and  improve  the  overall  health  status  of  this  aging  population  are  essential.  This  chapter  defines  successful  and  healthy  aging,  highlights  recommendations  for  health  promotion  and  disease  prevention,  and  describes  key  elements  in  geriatric  assessment.
