Ethics and healthcare in the older adult population
Aging is a natural process involving the loss of several abilities, including cardiovascular, neurologic, musculoskeletal, and social capabilities. In addition to the usual needs, older adults face specific physical and mental challenges. Considering the increase in life expectancy and the large percentage of older adults in most populations, societies should be prepared for the ethical challenges associated with high-demand older generations. A …
Burden of disease scenarios for 204 countries and territories, 2022–2050
BACKGROUND: Future trends in disease burden and drivers of health are of great interest to policy makers and the public at large. This information can be used for policy and long-term health investment, planning, and prioritisation. We have expanded and improved upon previous forecasts produced as part of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) and provide a reference forecast (the most likely future), and alternativ…
