Many people believe
that baby boomers are among the healthiest people born, because of their longer
life spans. What people do not seem to
know, though, is that these seemingly healthy people are actually more prone to
diseases and disorders than their parents and people born in the years
before. “Baby boomers are living longer, so I think there
may be presumptions from that they are the healthiest generation,” professor in
family medicine, Dr. Dana Kinga said. “But
they are not in excellent health while they are waiting around to live two to
three years longer. Unfortunately they may be living longer with a greater
burden of chronic disease, and more disability. It’s not exactly a good public
health outcome.”
Author Alice Park did a passable
job with her article. The article is a
bit short and has a lack of research noted and could provide more sources. There are many statistics show, comparing
health within generations, but the article seems to lack support. It does have support and the purpose is
pretty straight forward, but for this article, I would personally like to know
more. This article is good, but does not
seem to satisfy curiosity.
