科羅拉多州是美國最適合享受退休時光的地方。

這是《美國新聞與世界報道》（U.S. News & World Report）的最新研究顯示的結果，他們為65歲及以上的老人提供了最適合養老的州的排名。

2016年，美國65歲以上的老人占總人口的比例達到了15%。

由于預期壽命的延長和人口的增長，到2050年，這一比例預計會增長到20%，各州也不得不開展為老齡人口服務的項目。

為了搞清哪些州把滿足65歲以上居民的需求放在了優先地位，《美國新聞與世界報道》對12個不同的標準進行了評估，這些標準包括預期壽命、身心健康程度、生活成本、醫療保險和養老院的質量等。

以下是《美國新聞與世界報道》列出的九個最適合老齡人的美國州。各州在12個標準上的得分彼此相關，并據此得到一個整體的平均分。對每個州，我們都考慮了生活成本、預期壽命、精神健康和整體健康質量。

所有項的滿分都是100，100是可能得到的最高分數。

Colorado is the best place in America to spend your golden years.

That’s according to U.S. News & World Report, whose latest study ranked the top states for folks 65 and older.

In 2016, Americans older than 65 accounted for about 15% of the total US population.

By 2050, that share is expected to grow to 20%, thanks to increased life expectancy and population growth, and states are being forced to adapt programs that cater to the senior population.

To find out which states are prioritizing the needs of residents over 65, U.S. News evaluated a dozen different metrics, including life expectancy, physical and mental health, cost of living, and the cost and quality of medicare and nursing homes.

Below are the top nine US states for aging, according to U.S. News. States are scored relative to each other across 12 factors that average into one overall score. For each state, we’ve included individual scores for cost of living, life expectancy, positive mental health, and overall quality of health.

All scores are out of 100, with 100 being the highest possible rank.
