Ageing populations: new challenges in longevity
The deceleration in life expectancy gains, particularly among the oldest populations, raises important questions about future trends in longevity. As physical and cognitive health change in older ages healthcare systems will face new and diverse challenges. Understanding the role of ageing and time-to-death in shaping healthcare costs will be critical for anticipating future needs in high-income countries.
