Health Among the Elderly in Germany: New Evidence on Disease, Disability and Care Need


Add your own review!

Overview

Whether 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.

Die in diesem Band versammelten Ergebnisse zeigen deutlich, dass die Gesundheitspolitik sich insbesondere um die Bewohner landlicher Gebiete kummern muss, denn Spezialisten sind dort rar gesat. Ausserdem mussen weniger gut gestellte Bevoelkerungsgruppen sowie Migranten starker in den Fokus rucken. Nur so koennen im demografischen Wandel mehr Menschen als bisher von der Tendenz zur Verschiebung alterstypischer Erkrankungen ins hoehere Alter profitieren. Newsletter Demos 2/2015 Aus welchen Grunden leben manche Menschen langer und gesunder und andere nicht? Welche Einflusse und Faktoren wirken sich auf ein langes Leben und den Gesundheitszustand aus? Gibt es Unterschiede bei der Lebenserwartung und dem Gesundheitsstatus im Vergleich zwischen Deutschen und Migranten und warum? Diese Fragen stehen im Zentrum des Bandes, der einen Beitrag zur Diskussion uber Trends und Muster der Gesundheit AElterer in Deutschland liefern moechte. Bevoelkerungsforschung Aktuell 6/2014 Basierend auf neueren Daten und innovativen Forschungsdesigns wird der folgenden Frage nachgegangen: Which reasons make some people live longer and healthier and which do not?
