Book Description : Steadily
increasing life expectancy is one of the great achievements of industrialised
societies over the last century. Life expectancy has not only been growing
among the young and those reaching retirement age, but also, especially in
recent decades, among people ages 80 and above. These improvements in life
expectancy have led to the emergence of the so-called third age, when people
retire, but are still you- ful, healthy and able to participate in society.
Nevertheless, closer to the end of life, a fourth age of decrepitude and
dependence on others has to be anticipated. - spite the postponement of
functional limitations and severe disabilities into higher ages, the debate
continues over whether the additional years gained are healthy years, or
years with severe care need, particularly among the oldest old, the fastest growing
segment of the population. Future improvements in life expectancy and the
health status of the elderly will determine the need for care in the future.
While different assumptions about these trends based on expert opinion or the
extrapolation of past experiences can be made, there will always be a degree
of uncertainty about future trends. A third - portant factor driving the
extent of future care need is, however, already determined by the history of
the past century and is embedded in the age structures of our populations.
