Increases in life expectancy along with major changes in health plans (including Part D of Medicare) will require older Americans to make an increasing number of decisions concerning their finances at ages where fluid cognitive abilities are known to be in relative decline. Understanding how these age-related decreases and changes in other psychological factors (e.g., increasing confidence placed in trusted sources) leave older people more susceptible to both poor financial decisions as well as financial abuse is therefore a high priority. National data suggest that 5% of older adults are currently being financially exploited, and the prevalence is expected to increase. NIA has contract with BBCSS and CPOP to coordinate an expert planning meeting to elucidate what research is needed into relevant social, cognitive, and behavioral factors, and to identify potential pathways for intervention.

预期寿命的延长以及健康计划（包括医疗保险的D部分）的重大变化，将要求美国老年人在认知能力相对下降的年龄做出越来越多的有关财务的决定。因此，了解这些与年龄相关的减少和其他心理因素的变化（例如，对可信赖来源的信心增加）如何使老年人更容易受到不良财务决策和财务滥用的影响，是一个高度优先考虑的问题。国家数据显示，目前有5%的老年人在经济上受到剥削，预计这种情况还会增加。NIA已与BBCSS和CPOP签订合同，协调召开专家规划会议，阐明需要对相关的社会、认知和行为因素进行哪些研究，并确定潜在的干预途径。
