SSRN Electronic Journal, 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 ...

Probabilistic population aging.
PLoS 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 ...

Age groups and the measure of population aging [PDF]
Demographic 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

Population Ageing and the Macroeconomy [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 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.

Infection in an aging population [PDF]
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2016 The global population is rapidly aging. Currently, 566 million people are ≥65 years old worldwide, with estimates of nearly 1.5 billion by 2050, particularly in developing countries. Infections constitute a third of mortality in people ≥65 years old.

Scientifica, 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).

Economic Costs of Population Aging [PDF]
In just over three decades all those born during the post-war baby boom will be 65 and older, and the fraction of the population 'old' will be far greater than previously experienced in Canada, or indeed in any modern industrial nation. That prospect has

Journal 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.

Population aging and health [PDF]
BMJ, 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.
