The number of persons over 65 years of age is expected to increase from approximately 35 million in 2000 to an estimated 71 million by 2030 [1], and the number of persons over 80 years, the fastest growing segment, is expected to increase from 9.3 million in 2000 to 19.5 million by 2030 [1,2]. The amount of national medical care resources consumed by the elderly population is disproportionate to their numbers among the population. In 1995, 12.8% of the total population represented individuals aged 65 years and above in the United States, but these individuals accounted for nearly one third of total personal health care dollars ($310 billion) [3]. This interaction of demographic, health, and income trends will result in a tripling of the number of elderly persons requiring nursing home care by the year 2030, compared with a 200% increase in the elderly * Corresponding author.
