POT USE RISING AMONG BABY BOOMERS FOR MEDICAL REASONS
|
The latest trend among baby boomers might come as a surprise to some – and no surprise at all to others.
Marijuana use among seniors has gone up significantly over the past decade, according to a study out in the
July 2019 Drugs & Aging
medical journal, and many baby boomers are using it to treat health problems.
In fact, the University of Colorado study found that pot use among adults age 65 and older rose tenfold between 2007 to 2017,
CNBC reports
.
How common is it?
Of course, the percentage of seniors using marijuana is still low, with the rate among ages 65-plus rising from 0.3 percent in 2007 to 3.7 percent in 2017.
Younger baby boomers are using cannabis at a higher rate, with 9.7 percent of adults ages 60 to 64 reporting marijuana use in 2017 compared to 1.9 percent in 2007, according to the CNBC article.

MEETING THE FUTURE HOUSING NEEDS FOR SENIORS
|
By 2050, the population of individuals who are 65 and older in the United States is projected to double, growing faster than any other age group. As seniors age, their risk of having chronic diseases or functional limitations increases. According to LeadingAge, these risks are higher among members of minority groups, who are expected to make up 42 percent of the senior population in 2050. The risk of having a functional limitation or chronic disease is also higher among those living in poverty, who were 16 percent of the senior population in 2010 but whose numbers are expected to grow in the future.
Many seniors, however, wish to remain in their homes and communities for as long as possible. Panelists participating in a session at the Urban Land Institute’s 2017 Housing Opportunity Conference,
The Future of Affordable Housing for Seniors
,
underscored the need for affordable and accessible senior housing and highlighted strategies to support seniors seeking to age in place.
