“Old age” is getting pushed back farther and farther. Whereas this generation once said “never trust anyone over 30,” they now proclaim that 50 is the new 30! Medical and cosmetic advancements have helped Baby Boomers delay the aging process. Unfortunately, aging—like taxes—is one thing we all can count on. The health consequences of lifestyle choices may now be appearing for this generation. Diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart and lung disease, overweight and obesity may now be playing a more significant role in the lives of these employees. Better detection and screenings for breast, colon and prostate cancers have resulted in better treatment options earlier in the disease process, and more employees may be receiving care for these illnesses. This group of employees is very receptive to prevention programs designed to minimize health risk.
