This can be attributed to factors such as the increasing number of older adults who are unable to afford housing, lack of affordable healthcare and support services, and limited access to social security benefits. As the baby boomer generation continues to age, the number of elderly individuals experiencing homelessness is expected to rise significantly.

    • 20 years

    • 25 years

    Correct Answer
    A. 20 years
    Explanation
    The aged homeless population experiences physical challenges that cause their medical age to be 20 years older than their chronological age. This suggests that their bodies have undergone significant wear and tear, possibly due to a lack of access to proper healthcare, poor living conditions, or other factors associated with homelessness. As a result, their overall health and well-being may be significantly compromised, making them appear much older than their actual age.
