People over the age of 65 have become the most rapidly growing segment of the American population, and arguably, the most dynamic. From physical and mental well-being, to social networks and lifestyle considerations, older adults are an- ever evolving group in our society, and because of this, it is important to note the sociological factors that influence their lives.

information regarding the impact of each of these categories on the older adult population, and the demographic changes that have influenced each category.

 Physical Health Considerations  Mental Health Considerations
 Socioemotional Well-Being

 Lifestyle Considerations
 Women and Ethnic Minority Elders  Political Power Amongst the Elderly  Future Trends in Aging

The final paper should build upon the concepts learned in weeks one through five, and should be 8-10 pages in length, excluding the title and reference pages. Students must use at least 6-8 sources to support their analysis.
