According to an article in The New York Times in March 2007, American baby boomers report more problems with their health than the pre-boomers, when they are in their fifties. The younger group in comparison to the older group was more likely to report on difficulty in walking, climbing steps, getting up from a chair, kneeling or crouching, and doing normal everyday tasks.
