Abstrakt: The number of elderly people is increasing by a million each month, and they will comprise almost one-fifth of the world's population within the next half-century. In some countries, one-quarter or even one-third of the population will be old. How will society adapt and what will be the impact on the health of the nation? What adjustments will need to be made in working life, pensions, living arrangements, and health services? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
