Identify four ways that the baby boomer population will impact the health care industry.
This large segment of the population will age, live longer than their predecessors, and consume far more medical services than any elderly population in the past. By the year 2030, 6 out of 10 seniors will have at least one chronic condition, 1 out of 3 will be considered obese, 1 out of 4 will have diabetes, and 1 out of 2 will be living with arthritis. 4 out of 10 adult visits to doctors' offices will be baby boomers, 55 million lab tests per year will be needed for diabetic seniors, 8 times more knee replacements will be performed than today, and 4 million more emergency department visits will be logged than today. Since more than 25% of the total health care spending for each patient occurs in the final years of his or her life, the baby boomer's consumption of health care services will continue to increase costs.
