WASHINGTON (CBSDC) –

The Baby Boomer generation’s overall health has been on a sharp decline.

Australian researchers from Adelaide’s three universities have completed the 

first stage of a report on the generation born between the end of the Second 

World War and the mid-1960s.

Professor Graeme Hugo from the University of Adelaide said the findings 

were alarming and evidence that new public policies were needed.

Obesity among baby boomers is more than double the rate of their parents 

at the same age, and boomers with three or more chronic conditions was 

700% greater than the previous generation.

“We have to do something now in terms of reducing obesity as a risk factor if 

we’re going to manage health costs into the future, but I think more importantly 

if baby boomers are going to be able to lead active and productive lives in their 

later years,” he told ABC.

The Boomers: 76 million American children born between 1945 and 1964, 

representing a population that is significant on account of its size alone.
