HEALTH ASS NR 305 - ASSESSING THE OLDER ADULT/ HEALTH ASS NR 305 - ASSESSING THE OLDER ADULT. As you well know, the population of the US is aging. The percentage of older patients (always high) is even higher now. Older adults present with unique needs as well as a more complex health picture. The old-old (85) is the fastest growing segment of the population. 82% have at least one chronic condition. Age-associated changes are most pronounced in advanced age of 85 years or older, may alter the older person’s response to illness, show great variability among individuals, are often impacted by genetic and long-term lifestyle factors, and commonly involve a decline in functional reserve with reduced response to stressors.
