    Americans Are Retiring Later, Dying Sooner and Sicker In-Between - Bloomberg

    A key measure is whether people have trouble with an “activity of daily living,” or ADL, such as walking across a room, dressing and bathing themselves, eating, or getting in or out of bed. The study showed the number of middle-age Americans with ADL limitations has jumped: 12.5 percent of Americans at the current retirement age of 66 had an ADL limitation in their late 50s, up from 8.8 percent for people with a retirement age of 65.

    If only something could be done?
    If only there was some program that would help?

    Maybe the American literacy rate is not as good as we thought.

    Some of that is probably due to the "Snowflake effect" that is so pervasive in the world today.

    "I can't do that, I'll hurt myself! I need a special XXXX to 'help' me."

    Sometimes I wonder if people forget that getting older doesn't mean you get to be softer/gentler/easier. Or maybe they just want to "coast through retirement and enjoy it" since they have worked all their lives "and deserve it". Either way, the problem isn't the age, it's the lifestyles.
