The pioneering Future Elderly Model (FEM) allows microsimulation of future trends in the health, functional status, health spending, and earnings for people over age 50. Led by USC, the NIA-supported FEM has collaborators at Harvard, Stanford, RAND, Michigan, and Penn, and has been adapted for use in countries across the globe.
