Number of elderly in state continues upward trend Although persons 65 and over are a significant part of Oregon's population now, families and society can look forward to a major increase in the number of elderly in coming years, points out Vicki Schmall, Oregon State University Extension gerontologist. Persons 65 and older now comprise 12 percent of the state's population, with the percentage ranging from 15 to over 21 percent in some coastal and more sparsely populated counties, she notes.

In fact providing all kinds of care to an older relative is becoming a more normal experience for most families, Schmall adds. This can involve major fi vancial and emotional decisions, A national study of informal caregivers to the frail elderly showed that 72 percent were female, one-third were at least 65 themselves, one-third were in fair to poor health, and onethird had poor to nearly-poor family incomes.
