Some Comments on Aging and a Need for ResearchAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 477
The elderly retarded population continues to grow rapidly, yet there remains a lackof understanding regarding many of the characteristics and needs of theseindividuals. The aging retarded person presents unique difficulties to careproviders because of inconsistencies in population definition, lack of coordinationbetween resources for the aging and retarded, and past neglect in the researchliterature. The literature regarding the elderly retarded individual is reviewedrelative to (1) physical, behavioral, and emotional characteristics, (2) servicedelivery and programming needs, and (3) suggestions for improved researchmethodology which emphasize a consumer-oriented knowledge base. Caveatsregarding the application of programming mandates for mentally retardedindividuals to an aging population are also presented. Future work relating toelderly retarded individuals must take into consideration the rapidly shiftingnature of the population through changes in the quality of health care, extent ofprogramming, and governmental policies concerning care of the aged and thementally retarded person.
