The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that by 2035 adults over age 65 will outnumber children under age 18 for the first time in history. This group of older adults is living longer, and their longevity will necessitate preparing for gerontological issues—health, societal, infrastructure, financial and other impacts—that will result.
ORAU has established a Geroscience Working Group, a multidisciplinary team established to identify and leverage the company’s subject matter expertise to support gerontology-related programs and research.
