  The U.S. population aged 65 and older is estimated to grow from 35 Million in 2000 to 78 million in 2050 and the number of those aged 85 and older will increase from 4 mill to 31.2 million*. Geriatricians continue to be in short supply. Surgical and medical specialists must carry considerable responsibility for future geriatric care.
