A new study suggests that people now beginning to enter their 60s -- the Baby Boomer generation -- have more disabilities than their counterparts did in prior generations. The researchers analyzed two sets of data from surveys 10 years apart and found that disabilities among 60- to 69-year-olds had increased between 40 and 70 percent over that period.
