“Hispanics tend to live longer than non-Hispanic whites and blacks, but Hispanics also tend to have a greater number of years with functional health problems, according a new report by the National Alliance for Hispanic Health.
Those factors indicate an upcoming Hispanic aging boom that will parallel the baby boomers’ aging trend, the report released Tuesday said.
“There is a dramatic growth projection for the older adult (Hispanic) population,” said Adolph Falcon, editor of the report. “Our proportion increases even more if you look at 75 and older and 85 and older.”"
