INFORMATION MEMORANDUM
AOA-IM-97-18
TO: STATE AND AREA AGENCIES ON AGING ADMINISTERING TITLES
III AND VII OF THE OLDER AMERICANS ACT OF 1965, AS AMENDED
SUBJECT: TRANSMITTAL OF OLDER PERSONS WITH MOBILITY AND SELF-CARE LIMITATIONS: 1990
Attached is a statistical product which was developed by the
National Aging Information Center on the subject of older persons
with mobility and self-care limitations. This product is based
on data from the 1990 Census of Population and Housing, Special
Tabulation on Aging. It consists of a short paper with national
and state-by-state tables as well as a national chart. In addition,
for state agencies only, there is a similar table and color chart
containing the data for that state and a description of the ranking
of that state in relation to other states. Interested area agencies
on aging may contact their state agency on aging or the National
Aging Information Center for a copy of the table and chart for
their state.
The Administration on Aging hopes that this information will
be useful in your work on behalf of older persons.
Inquiries: Questions may be directed to Saadia Greenberg
at 202-619-3429.
