Abstract
Insight and research from the Natural Marketing Institute (NMI) shows longitudinal changes in the drivers behind healthy aging and the identification of several shifts occurring over the past 20 years among Baby Boomers (those born from 1946 to 1964). Whereas lifestyle factors, such as leisure time and career aspirations topped Boomers' list of priorities 20 years ago, other issues now take center stage including financial health, retirement, energy levels, and disease prevention. Many of these shifts have created dissonance between what Boomers desire and their satisfaction with fulfilling those desires. These gaps illuminate key opportunities based on Boomers' unmet need states.
Healthy Aging/Boomer Report is NMI' s look into one of the influential segments of our society, both economically, and ideologically. Based on 2005 quantitative research of 1,000+ U.S. adults (with Boomer oversample), this report will identify drivers of shifting Boomer paradigms, examine unmet Boomer needs, explore underlying Boomer attitudes, and identify marketplace opportunities.
