Global Aging
What do people live for? (OMG)
World Pop Pyramid

80+ is fastest growing group in any demographic
PDF File

Why?
1. birth rates are high in phase 1, but also death rates are due to disease, living
condition ect
at some point DR exceeds BR
2. better health care food supply etc. DR start to drop off, BR remain steady
3. DR continues to decline, BR starts decline because women start gaining access to
edu and workfource
4. pop stabilizes because BR drop to replacement or below replacement level and DR
remains low increasing aging pop.
Six Myths of Aging:
1. Most older people live in developed countries
70% older people live in developing countries
decline in premature mortality is causing aging in world pop.

2. Old people are all the same
Older people are a very diverse
Genes, Gender, Ethnicity, culture, climate, location, pollution, social status, poverty,
education, rural vs. urban, family size, economical development, income, social roles,
disease, health, activity, nourishment, infectious disease, housing, accidents, injuries,
lifestyle, social isolation, etc
we associate age 65 because pension kicks in
3. Men and women age the same way
Women live 5-8 years longer then men but experience more disabling disease
Men just drop dead
Women
osteoporosis
hypertension
arthritis
Men
stroke
Heart Disease
Patterns in health between men and women are different due to:
hormones
social roles
exposure to life style risks
Biological adv. vs socio-economical disadv.
hormones major reasons women age differently than men
socially women paid less than men = lower pension = lower social security
Widowhood: poverty, loneliness and isolation
4. Older people are frail
must get body there to not become frail
majority of older people are physically fit to carry ADLs (activities of daily life) and
maintain functional capacity
Unhealthy life style contributes to chronic diseases and functional capacity reduction
underlying cause of many other diseases
20% elderly in developed countries receive formals care
1/3 in institutions, 2/3 at home (formal and informal)
