The “Older Americans 2024: Key Indicators of Well-Being” report provides a comprehensive, easy-to-understand picture of our older population. Older Americans 2024 is the ninth report prepared by the Federal Interagency Forum on Aging-Related Statistics. It provides readers with an accessible compendium of indicators drawn from the most reliable and recent official statistics. The indicators are categorized into six broad groups: Population, economics, health status, health risks and behaviors, health care and environment.
This report is intended to stimulate relevant and timely public discussions, encourage exchanges between the data and policy communities, and foster improvements in Federal data collection on older Americans. By examining a broad range of indicators, researchers, policymakers, and service providers can better understand the areas of well-being that are improving for older Americans as well as the areas that require more attention.

I look forward to positive changes. However it does not seem to have reached the VA Kernersville NC Outpatient Clinic!! They are still carrying on with their DIA attitudes. (1) Primary Care Providers are a waste and are nothing more than a traffic cop, my recent appointment with my PC I had to tell her what to provide me and it was apparent she never reviewed my records and seem to care less. (2) Her reception desk is manned by two people as are most all other activities and act as a first line of defense often delaying access to the PC or other providers for weeks if not months. (3) Pharmacy overrides prescriptions submitted by Doctors/Providers. (4) Travel Pay Office has a woman in charge who never does anything and passes it on to two subordinates. (5) Current Administrator appears to putting Staff first Veterans 2nd. (6) Just received a form letter stating they tried to reach me by phone on 27 January to confirm an appointment that I already confirmed, my call log never showed any such call this is a waste of time and $$. (7) This facility needs to be investigated it is overstaffed with do nothing staff collecting salaries who would rather pass the Veteran to outside private providers instead of taking care in house. If it is the intent of the new director to do away with the VA overall he is on track.
