We study biological aging of elderly U.S. Americans born 1904-1966. We use thirteen waves of the Health and Retirement … Study and construct a health deficit index as the number of health deficits present in a person measured relative to the … number of potential deficits. We find that, on average, Americans develop 5 percent more health deficits per year, that men age …
