Older Americans (those age 65 and over) are a vibrant and growing part of our Nation. They also experience unique challenges to their economic well-being, health, and independence. To inform decisions regarding the support and well-being of older Americans, robust statistics reflecting these experiences are needed. Although many Federal agencies provide statistics on aspects of older Americans' lives, it can be difficult to fit the pieces together into a comprehensive representation. Thus, it has become increasingly important for policymakers and the general public to have an accessible, easy-to-understand portrait of how older Americans fare. Older Americans 2016: Key Indicators of Well-Being (Older Americans 2016) provides a comprehensive, easy-to-understand picture of our older population. It is the seventh such chartbook prepared by the Federal Interagency Forum on Aging-Related Statistics (Forum). Readers will find here an accessible compendium of indicators drawn from the most reliable official statistics. Indicators are categorized into six broad groups: Population, Economics, Health Status, Health Risks and Behaviors, Health Care, and Environment. The Forum's recent review of the Older Americans chartbook resulted in the addition of several new indicators particularly relevant to many of the challenges currently facing older Americans. Among these additions are an indicator describing the changing demographics of Social Security beneficiaries and an indicator describing transportation access for older Americans. Indicators have also been added to describe dementia rates (including Alzheimer's disease rates, among the non-nursing home population) as well as to examine the number of older Americans receiving long-term care by different types of providers. Finally, the Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM) for Americans age 65 and over has been added. The SPM extends the official poverty measure by taking into account many government programs designed to assist low-income families that are not included in the official poverty measure. Although Federal agencies currently collect and report substantial information on the population age 65 and over, other important gaps in our knowledge remain. In Older Americans 2012, the Forum identified six such areas where more data are needed: informal caregiving, residential care, elder abuse, functioning and disability, mental health and cognitive functioning, pension measures, and end-of-life issues. In Older Americans 2016, we provide updated information on the data availability for these specific areas, in addition to a special feature on informal caregiving. We continue to appreciate users' requests for greater detail for many existing indicators. We also extend an invitation to all of our readers and partners to let us know what else we can do to make our reports more accessible and useful. Please send any comments to agingforum@cdc.gov. The Older Americans reports reflect the Forum's commitment to advancing our understanding of where older Americans stand today and what challenges they may face tomorrow. I congratulate the Forum agencies for joining together to present the American people with such valuable tools for understanding the well-being of the older population. Last, but not least, none of this work would be possible without the continued cooperation ofmillions of American citizens who willingly provide the data that are summarized and analyzed by staff in the Federal agencies for the American people.
