- How Will the U.S. Healthcare System Meet the Challenge of
the Ethnogeriatric Imperative?
Projected percentage of minority aged 65 and older. Much of
the geriatric imperative that is facing providers in the United
States is an ethnogeriatric imperative, because one-third of
older Americans are projected to be from one of the minority
populations by mid-century, and that vastly underrepresents
the actual diversity providers will see. Because of the vast
heterogeneity of culture, language, health beliefs, risk for
disease, and other factors, it is important for policy makers
and health providers to be familiar with the diverse characteristics
and needs of the various groups. . . .
