ORWH Seminar Looks at Elder Issues By Chinwe Onyekere
By the year 2040, there will be 30 million people 80 or more years old in the
United States. The increased number of elderly people poses new challenges for
American society. Women are frequently caught between the generations as

concern in women's health, and was the topic of a recent Office of Research on
Women's Health seminar, "Elder Options and Care Giving."
