Public health and aging: retention of natural teeth among older adults--United States, 2002

Article Abstract:

The percentage of older Americans who still have most of their natural teeth has increased substantially since the 1950s. A 2002 survey of 48,866 Americans found that more than half the populations of 26 states had most of their natural teeth. The percentage ranged from 60% or more in California, Utah, and Colorado, to less than 40% in Kentucky, West Virginia, and Mississippi.

More and more medical students are opting for a controllable lifestyle when they choose their specialty.

Public health and aging: trends in aging -- United States and worldwide

Article Abstract:

The percentage of people who are 65 years old and older will increase from 7% of the world's population in 2000 to 12% by the year 2030. This is primarily caused by a decrease in birth rates and an increase in longevity. The impact of the aging population will be much greater in developing countries than in developed countries.
