摘要

We age from the day we are born and, in Hawai‘i, our life spans are definitely increasing. “Healthy aging” is a goal we all share. Since 1980, the rapid increase in the aging population in Hawai‘i has been unprecedented, as in other parts of the United States. Hawai‘i is projected to have 33% of its population over age 65 by the end of 2020, the highest percentage in the United States.
