KFF April 29, 2024
As the U.S population ages and becomes increasingly diverse, people of color are projected to comprise close to half the population of adults ages 65 and older by 2060. Consequently, the health-related experiences of older people of color will increasingly merit attention from policymakers and health care professionals to ensure that the health care system meets the needs of an aging and increasingly diverse population. KFF research has documented racial and ethnic disparities in health care that affect people of all ages, including access to care, use of services, outcomes, and experiences with unfair treatment while seeking health care. These differences are influenced by policies and practices rooted in racism and other forms of discrimination.
