They also experience unique challenges to their economic well-being, health, and independence. To inform decisions regarding the support and well-being of older Americans, robust statistics reflecting these experiences are needed. Although many federal agencies provide statistics on aspects of older Americans’ lives, it can be difficult to fit the pieces together into a comprehensive representation. Thus, it is important for policymakers and the general public to have an accessible, easy-to-understand portrait of how older Americans fare.  \nOlder Americans 2024: Key Indicators of Well-Being ( Older Americans 2024) provides a comprehensive, easy-to-understand picture of our older population.  \nOlder Americans 2024 is the ninth report prepared by the Federal Interagency Forum on Aging-Related Statistics (Forum) . It provides readers with an accessible compendium of indicators drawn from the most reliable and recent official statistics. The indicators are categorized into six broad groups: Population, Economics, Health Status, Health Risksand Behaviors, Health Care, and Environment.  \nRecognizing that federal agencies will continue to collect and report data on older Americans over time, these metrics will broaden to address current knowledge gaps and emerging information needs. Measurement and reporting will improve to enhance the quality and utilit","cbCaivYEHRhfIGrn","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivYEHRhfIGrn","pdf",7225105,122,"English","# Foreword\n## Purpose and need for accessible statistics\n## Report scope and indicator categories\n## Special feature: telehealth during COVID-19\n## Data sources and cognitive functioning resources\n## Mission of the Federal Interagency Forum","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of Older Americans 2024: Key Indicators of Well-Being?\",\"answer\":\"To provide policymakers and the public with an accessible, easy-to-understand portrait of how older Americans are doing using robust, reliable statistics.\"},{\"question\":\"How are the report’s indicators organized?\",\"answer\":\"They are grouped into six broad categories: Population, Economics, Health Status, Health Risks and Behaviors, Health Care, and Environment.\"},{\"question\":\"What special feature does this year’s report highlight?\",\"answer\":\"Changes to Medicare expanded telehealth use among older adults at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic; the report describes findings using three Forum agency data sources.\"}]","Older Americans 2024 - Key Indicators of Well-Being - Federal Interagency Forum on Aging-Related Statistics | PDF",307]
