Assignment 9thEXECUTIVE SUMMARY.The purpose of the program is to raise the concern towards the improvement of older person's quality towards life. Science is in to offering the best hope for improving the older person's quality towards life. For the reduction in disability and also the reduction in dependency which are quite a common thing of old age, and also towards the reduction of burdens which are thrusted upon health care institutions due to their constraints in limits, this report is created towards the grant of fund. Hence it can be conceived that this Executive Summary is intended forthe aging class of people, and thus they are the target audience. The benefits of the program or project is in lowering vulnerability towards disability of older class of people, with dementia, which are increasing at a faster rate. Although, the life expectancy of the average Americans is on the rise, but at the same time, there is also a majority group who are advancing vigorously towards the old age. This has become an area of concern fornot only the older people but also the families of them who are concerned about the attached disability or that of dementia and most importantly the loss of independence [ CITATION Man85 \l 1033 ]. It has been highlighted that this aging will definitely challenge and not only to the political systems, but also the retirement, and also the social service systems. So, it can be comprehended that, the aging problem is creating risks in the area of health care. Hence, there is an urgent need which cannot be underscored since the figures from census depicts that, older persons are considered to be most vulnerable towards disability and also dementia, and this vulnerability is increasing at a faster rate, thus it is evident that, the disabled older persons’ care will only increase in days to come, unless the reasons which are causing disability are identified and controlled [ CITATION Sch90 \l 1033 ]. It is conceived that, there is a need for controlling the acute and chronic illness in old age, which are majorly causing disability and suffering, so this report aims at not merely extending life but finding ways towards the enhancement of it[ CITATION Hag83 \l 1033 ]. The basis upon which the program or project will be evaluated is on the two reports produced by the [ CITATION Nat78 \l 1033 ], and [ CITATION Nat82 \l 1033 ], hence, this report is aimed atidentifying the priority research on aging which were done on the biomedical science, or the clinical science, and also the behavioral science including social studies relating to health, and also including the health services delivery, and by considering the biomedical ethics, so that the research can be done on the on aging which will then contribute towards the quality of life and maximize the independence of older persons. According [ CITATION Sch90 \l 1033 ], the cost of health care for older persons is on the rise and is growing rapidly. [ CITATION Sch90 \l 1033 ], highlighted that, during 1987 the cost for providing health care for elderly patients was $162 billion [ CITATION Nat88 \l 1033 ]which was the increased number in a decade [ CITATION Wal89 \l 1033 ].
