The global ageing population

4 Healthy Ageing. Whole System Approach to Ageing Well, 27 September 2018

  • The number of people today aged

60 and over has doubled since 1980.

  • The number of people aged 80

years will almost quadruple to 395 million between now and 2050.

  • Within the next five years, the

number of adults aged 65 and

  • ver will outnumber children

under the age of 5.

  • Between 2000 and 2050, the

proportion of the world’s population over 60 years will double from about 11% to 22%.

Facts and figures

  • A baby girl born today can expect to live to the age of 83, a baby boy

to 79.

  • One in three will reach their 100th birthday
  • Globally the number of over 60s has doubled since 1980
  • By 2050 the number of over 80s is expected to quadruple

BUT…

  • 40% of over 65s in the UK have a life-limiting long-term health

condition (eg diabetes, respiratory disease, CVD, cancer, dementia)

  • There are marked inequalities between the most and the least

deprived areas

National priorities for healthy ageing

  • Productive healthy ageing
  • Increase awareness of lifestyle interventions and collaborate with system

leaders to scale these interventions with the older population to increase healthy life expectancy

  • Older people’s mental health, including social isolation, loneliness and

dementia.

  • Raise awareness of dementia risk reduction and drive behaviour change

in midlife and later years

  • Musculoskeletal health including falls prevention
  • Promote primary falls prevention with a particular focus on older adults
  • ‘Non-traditional’ inequalities in later life

Age friendly communities

  • Physical environment – housing, transport, street furniture, toilets,
  • Feeling safe
  • Participation – employment, volunteering, social activities
  • Public services – accessible health and social care
  • Communication and information
  • Respect – countering ageism

Employment

  • More people aged 50+ are in

employment than ever before

  • Reasons for leaving the workforce are

complex and include:

  • Ill health and disability
  • Caring responsibilities
  • Redundancy
  • Financial security

Keeping people in work for longer will require a shift in mindset for both employers and older people

Isolation and loneliness in older age

17 Healthy Ageing. Whole System Approach to Ageing Well, 27 September 2018

Isolation

  • Research over decades has found a fairly constant proportion –

10-13% - of older people feeling lonely often or always.

  • Estimates place the number of people aged over 65 who are often
  • r always lonely at over one million.

Loneliness

The relationship between social isolation and loneliness is complex and varies between individuals.

  • 12% of those aged over 65 report isolation. (SCIE)
  • Age UK report that approx. two-fifths all older people say the television

is their main company.

  • 11% of older people are in contact with family less than once a month.

What this means in Y&H

  • Working with colleagues focusing on other aspects of PH to ensure healthy

ageing is reflected

  • Spatial planning – age friendly towns/cities, suitable housing stock,

accessible transport

  • Physical activity – strength and balance, age appropriate opportunities,

wide range of ability

  • Mental health – social isolation and loneliness, older carers, older service

users

  • Oral health and nutrition – access to dental care, food deserts, ability and

desire to prepare nutritious meals, hydration

  • Vulnerable groups – older people with learning disabilities, older

population in receipt of drug and alcohol services, older people who are/at risk of homelessness

Key issues

  • Continuing rise in numbers and proportion of population in later life
  • Increasing numbers living independently – and often alone – in later life
  • Older carers – caring for grandchildren, children with disabilities, partners or

ageing parents

  • Older workers
  • Healthy ageing needs a life-course approach
