Life expectancy, healthy life expectancy, and burden of disease in older people in the Americas, 1990-2019: a population-based study
CONCLUSION: The increase in life expectancy and decrease of DALYs indicate the positive effect of improvements in social conditions and health policies. However, the smaller increase in healthy life expectancy suggests that, despite living longer, people spend a substantial amount of time in their old age with disability and illness. Preventable and controllable diseases account for most of the disease burden in older adults in the Americas. Society-wide and life-course approaches, and adequate health services are needed to respond to the health needs of older people in the Region.PMID:34621302 | PMC:PMC8489742 | DOI:10.26633/RPSP.2021.114
