Age groups and the measure of population aging [PDF]

open access: yesDemographic Research, 2013
BACKGROUND Measures of population aging are important because they shape our perception of demographic trends. Indicators of aging based on fixed ages contributed to a dramatic portrayal of demographic evolutions, some of which were associated with the myth of decline. OBJECTIVE We propose a new measure of population aging, based on the relative age of

Probabilistic population aging

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2017
We merge two methodologies, prospective measures of population aging and probabilistic population forecasts. We compare the speed of change and variability in forecasts of the old age dependency ratio and the prospective old age dependency ratio as well as the same comparison for the median age and the prospective median age.

Population Ageing and the Macroeconomy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We quantify the impact of demographic change on real interest rates, house prices and household debt in an overlapping-generations model. Falling birth and death rates across advanced economies can explain much of the observed fall in real interest rates and the rise in house prices and household debt.

Population aging and health [PDF]

open access: yesBMJ, 1997
People in industrialised nations are living longer than ever before. In this century alone, average life expectancy from birth has increased by more than 25 years, and nearly five of those 25 years has been added to average life expectancy from base age 65.

Population Aging [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Population aging is primarily the result of past declines in fertility, which produced a decadeslong period in which the ratio of dependents to working age adults was reduced. Rising old-age dependency in many countries represents the inevitable passing of this "demographic dividend." Societies use three methods to transfer resources to people in ...

Effect of the APOE Polymorphism and Age Trajectories of Physiological Variables on Mortality: Application of Genetic Stochastic Process Model of Aging

open access: yesScientifica, 2012
We evaluated effects of the APOE polymorphism (carriers versus noncarriers of the e4 allele) and age trajectories of total cholesterol (CH) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) on mortality risk in the Framingham Heart Study (original cohort).

Dependence and Population Ageing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Population ageing has often been summarised through rising old-age dependence ratios. Age is therefore perceived as a source of dependence, which supposedly causes economic problems. While these perceptions seem intuitive, they are open to query and may be misleading.

Association of red cell distribution width with all-cause and cardiovascular-specific mortality in African American and white adults: a prospective cohort study

open access: yesJournal of Translational Medicine, 2017
Background While the mortality rate is declining in the United States, the life expectancy gap among different population groups suggests a need to identify biomarkers to improve early identification of individuals at risk.

Validation of the JEN frailty index in the National Long-Term Care Survey community population: identifying functionally impaired older adults from claims data

open access: yesBMC Health Services Research, 2018
Background Use of a claims-based index to identify persons with physical function impairment and at risk for long-term institutionalization would facilitate population health and comparative effectiveness research.
