  25. Changes in the Workforce… Given that… What are the implication for the workforce as we approach 2015?

  26. The Implications…

  27. Vision… • Visual acuity declines with age ≈ 25% by age 60 • Visual reaction time doubles • The time to react to glare increases 50% • More light is required with aging • 40-year old requires 2X • 60-year old requires 5-6X

  28. Vision… • Contrast sensitivity decreases with aging • 40-year old requires 120% • 50-year old requires 160% • 65-year old requires 270%

  29. Vision… • Contrast sensitivity decreases with aging • 40-year old requires 120% • 50-year old requires 160% • 65-year old requires 270% • Field of view, motion perception, and depth perception all decline with age

  30. Hearing… • Consistent hearing loss with aging • 2-3.5% per year throughout life • Mid-range hearing loss • By age 50, is 10 dB, • By age 60 it is 25 dB, • By age 70 it is 35 dB • Decreased ability to tune out background noise

  31. Cognitive Ability… • Information processing declines with age • Cognitive ability declines with age • Learn new material or skills • Attend to two or more tasks at once • Long term memory

  32. Strength…

  33. Strength… • Strength decreases with age • 5% by age 40 • 20% by age 55 • 40% by age 75 • Most dramatic after the age 65. • 80% of the loss is due to inactivity however it can be maintained with training • Tendon strength decrease with age • Rotator Cuff tears • Achilles Tendon ruptures

  34. Strength…

  35. Metabolic Rate…

  36. Metabolic Rate… • Basal metabolic rate declines with age

  37. Sedentary Time Change: 10,000 years…

  38. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 41, No. 5, pp. 998–1005, 2009

  39. Aerobic Power… • Maximum Aerobic Power declines with age • At age of 65 it is 70% of what it was at age of 25

  40. Aerobic Power… Max HR = 220 – age

  41. Age vs. Activity…

  42. Changes in our Tissues… • Aging is associated with changes within skeletal muscle • Decrease force, power, endurance, and • Increase recover time for an injury • More vulnerable to injury • Reduced capacity to regenerate after tissue injury due to overexertion

  43. Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs)… • MSDs are the most common cause of disability among workers in their 50’s and 60’s • Advancing age is associated with more spinal complaints, hand pain, and other upper extremity pain

  44. Slips, Trips and Falls… • Reaction times slow with aging • 40-year old requires 25% more time • 60-year old requires 150% more time • Trips are common in older people because of age related changes in gait • A weaker skeleton intensify the injuries associates with falls in older people

  45. So here they come…

  46. A Boomer’s Perspective… Who We Are: As 77 million boundless, ageless, timeless baby boomers move into the next stage of their lives, they are redefining quality of life itself and continuing their signature quest for personal and social meaning. Boomers are redesigning mid-life, redefining the empty nest, reinventing retirement and exploring life in new and unexpected ways. http://www3.sc.maricopa.edu/boomerz/about.htm

  47. A Boomer’s Perspective… Source: American Heart Association, January 2004 OPTIMISM: ANOTHER WORD FOR DENIALA large majority (89 percent) of Boomer respondents are optimistic that they will have a healthy future and nearly all (97 percent) look forward to an active lifestyle in retirement. This optimism is belied, however, by the way many baby boomers actually live -- and choose to ignore potential health problems.
