Study: One-Quarter of Seniors Haven't Discussed End-of-Life Care Preferences

A new survey from the Pew Research Group found that almost one-quarter of seniors over 75 have not written down or talked to anyone about their end-of-life care preferences. The study also found that 30 percent of people who described their health as "fair" or "poor" have not conveyed their wishes either.

However, there have been improvements in other areas. Back in 1990, only 16 percent of people had put their wishes down in writing, whether it was in an informal letter or a legal document. Today, that figure is at 35 percent.
