Care of the elderly Books
Verlag Barbara Budrich Health Among the Elderly in Germany: New Evidence
Book SynopsisWhether increasing life expectancy leads to better health remains still controversial. Three topics are explored: (1) vanguard groups which inform about possible levels of health if the general social and environmental conditions were to approach those of the vanguard group; (2) the social and behavioral determinants of health differentiated into proximal and distal factors; (3) vulnerable groups such as migrants and the health differences between migrant groups. Newly available population-based data as well as new study designs and advanced stati¬stical modelling form the basis for the empirical analyses.Trade ReviewDie in diesem Band versammelten Ergebnisse zeigen deutlich, dass die Gesundheitspolitik sich insbesondere um die Bewohner ländlicher Gebiete kümmern muss, denn Spezialisten sind dort rar gesät. Außerdem müssen weniger gut gestellte Bevölkerungsgruppen sowie Migranten stärker in den Fokus rücken. Nur so können im demografischen Wandel mehr Menschen als bisher von der Tendenz zur Verschiebung alterstypischer Erkrankungen ins höhere Alter profitieren.

Anthem Press Institutional Provisions and Care for the Aged:
Book SynopsisCare for the elderly has increased in both duration and intensity, particularly because of better medical conditions resulting in increased lifespan. Understanding the numerous dimensions of ageing will play a consequential role in determining future national policies. This book addresses a wide spectrum of issues faced by the elderly in India, Sri Lanka and the Netherlands, primarily from social and economic perspectives. South Asian cultures more than others have traditionally endorsed living arrangements that entail co-residence of aged parents with their children, which has been the crux of the support system of the aged. Significant shifts in family structure spurred by modernization prompted increased family nucleation. All three countries offer interesting insights as India is projected to have an ageing population of 90 million in the near future, and Sri Lanka has one of the highest proportions of ageing people in the developing world. By delving further, one can view these trends in the context of widespread poverty and inadequate social security systems in India, and high human development indicators in Sri Lanka.
