 The State of Health & Aging in America 2004
The State of Aging and Health in America 2004 is the third annual
volume in a series that presents a snapshot of the entire health and
aging landscape in the United States or another area of the world.
Two sections offer report cards, one at the national level and one
for individual states and the District of Columbia that show whether
older Americans are meeting specific health targets set in Healthy
People 2000. In particular the report focuses on the effects of
physical activity on health and aging.
The reports are produced by the Merck Institute of Aging & Health (MIAH)
and various partnership organizations that are recognized leaders in
the aging field. MIAH is a non-profit organization, funded by the
Merck Company Foundation, and located in Washington, D.C. The
organization is dedicated to improving the health and independence
of older adults around the world through information and education.
It is especially concerned with the education of primary care
physicians in
geriatrics.
