A Baby boomer is somebody who was born during a period of
increased birth rates, or Baby boom, and the term is particularly
applied to those born during the post-World War II period of
increased birth rates. In the U.S., the term is iconic and more
properly capitalized as Baby Boomers.
These individuals are significant in the formation of some health
issues and needs. Never in the history of man, has the baby boomers
generation sparked such a massive health gap to be filled.
