The Impact

Population aging and its consequences are an extremely controversial issue in the global context. An increase in the number of older people along with a decrease in the birth rate leads to an excessive burden on the economically active part of the population. Such imbalances threaten to reduce the workforce, slow economic growth, increase social spending, increase the fiscal burden. Therefore, using the country’s own experience to solve the problem of rapid aging of the nation and take measures to improve the quality of life of older people and their social integration into society is insufficient, as changes in the age structure of the population may occur for the first time. Therefore, it is necessary to study and adapt the experience of other countries to address this social issue. The purpose of this study was to conduct a comparative analysis of the aging population in Iran and Poland, as well as to assess the impact of the nation’s aging on life expectancy, fertility and gross domestic product (GDP) in these two countries. The object of the study is Poland as a representative of European countries, which is facing an increase in the number of elderly people, and Iran as a country where the age structure of the population is just beginning to change. The study period is 1950-2020. The results of the study show that there has been an increase in the elderly population, but the share of this population compared to other countries is lower. The authors of the study proved the existence of significant differences in the aging population in Poland and Iran. A feature of the demographic situation in Iran is the declining birth rate, which leads to a decrease in the total population and an increase in the proportion of elderly people. These socio-demographic transformations in the long run can have a destructive effect on Iran’s GDP. In contrast to Iran, Poland is experiencing an increase in population aging, leading to rising spending on social security and protection, as well as falling GDP. The rapid growth of the elderly population compared to the growth of the total population of the country and the increase in the share of elderly people in the coming years emphasizes the need for further planning of control over the problems associated with this population group.

Usia harapan hidup periode 2015-2020 menjadi 73,2 tahun sehingga mempengaruhi estimasi proporsi penduduk lansia. Jumlah Lansia Indonesia akan mencapai 28,8 juta orang atau 11,34 persen pada tahun 2020. Sebaran penduduk lansia tahun 2017 di Indonesia, pada urutan ketiga tertinggi ditempati oleh Jawa Timur yaitu 2,9 juta (12,25%) lebih dari 10% sehingga Jawa Timur bisa dikategorikan sebagai provinsi dengan penduduk tua (aging population) dengan jumlah lansia di Malang diperkirakan pada tahun 2020 sebesar 371.977 (Badan Pusat Statistik, 2015). Berdasarkan studi pendahuluan di Desa Toyomarto Pebruari 2018 diperoleh 320 lansia potensial. Sesuai hasil wawancara dengan 10 lansia potensial diperoleh data 70% masih aktif bekerja, 40% aktif dalam kegiatan kemasyarakatan dan 100% mandiri dalam pemenuhan kebutuhan sehari-hari, 70% mendapat dukungan keluarga sebagian dari dimensi (fisik, emosional, lingkungan, intelektual, profesional vokasional, sosial kemasyarakatan dan spiritual. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian cross sectional. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh lansia potensial yang tinggal di Desa Toyomarto Kecamatan Ardimulyo sejumlah 320 orang. Sedangkan sampel dalam penelitian adalah sebagian lansia yang tinggal di Desa Toyomarto Kecamatan Singosari Kabupaten Malang sebesar 30 responden. Tehnik pengambilan sampel yang digunakan adalah simple random sampling. Analisis yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah uji korelasi gamma diperoleh nilai p=0,000 yang menunjukkan bahwa hubungan pelayanan lansia berbasis kekerabatan dengan lansia tangguh bermakna. Dukungan keluarga dalam membina lansia belum optimal sehingga perlu mendapatkan perhatian agar kualitas dukungan menjadi baik. Perlunya peningkatan kualitas pembinaan oleh keluarga/kerabat dalam memberikan pelayanan kepada lansia dapat dilaksanakan dengan cara menjalin kerjasama lintas program maupun sektor agar terwujudnya lansia tangguh akan semakin nyata dan berlanjut hingga pemanfaatan keterlibatan lansia tangguh dalam mengisi pembangunan kesehatan khususnya kesehatan keluarga dan masyarakat. The life expectancy in 2015-2020 was 73.2 years, thus affecting the estimated proportion of the elderly population. The number of elderly in Indonesia will reach 28.8 million people or 11.34 percent by 2020. The distribution of the elderly population in 2017 in Indonesia, East Java  was the third highest by 2.9 million (12.25%), more than 10%, categorized as a province with an aging population (aging population) with the number of elderly in Malang estimated in 371,977 on 2020 (Badan Pusat Statistik, 2015). Based on preliminary studies in Toyomarto Village, February 2018, there were 320 potential elderly people. Based on the interview of 10 potential elderly, 70% were still actively working, 40% were active in community activities, 100% were independent in fulfilling their daily needs, 70% have family support in some part of dimensions (physical, emotional, environmental, intellectual, vocational professional, social and spiritual). This study aimed to analyze the correlation of kinship-based elderly service (emotional, spiritual, social, physical, environmental, intellectual, vocational professional) and resilient elderly in Toyomarto Village, Singosari District, Malang Regency. The study was a cross sectional study. The population was 320 people of all potential elderly living in Toyomarto Village, Ardimulyo Subdistrict. The sample was the majority of elderly people living in Toyomarto Village, Singosari Subdistrict, Malang Regency for 30 respondents. The sampling technique used simple random sampling. The analysis used gamma correlation test which obtained p value = 0,000 indicated that there was a correlation of elderly-based services and resilient elderly. The need to improve quality of guidance by families / relatives in providing services to elderly can be carried out by establishing cross-program and sector collaboration so that the realization of strong elderly people will become more apparent and continue to utilize involvement of strong elderly people in fulfilling health development, especially family and community health.

The Impact

Introduction. Physical activity is known to be an important factor influencing health throughout human life. This issue has become crucial for public health due to the aging of the population in both developed and developing countries. Aim. is to present a literature review on the forms of physical activity undertaken by the elderly, as well as on issues related to physical activity and the population aging. Material and methods. The study was prepared on the basis of a review of Polish and foreign literature. The following databases and data sources were used: EBSCO, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar. An additional source of data were the websites of the Central Statistical Office. Strictly defined key phrases were used during the collection of literature. The work has been divided into thematic subsections on the aging of the society, the impact of physical activity on health and the main topic, i.e. forms of physical activity selected by the elderly. Analysis of the literature. The number of elderly people in Polish society has increased by almost 3.7 million over three decades. Therefore, an important topic is prophylaxis aimed at increasing the number of days in good health, largely covering the broadly understood activation of the elderly. The available data indicate that only 12% of elderly people undertake physical activity once a week. The most common form of spending free time actively is walking (as many as 73% of people in this population declare this form of physical activity in one of the presented studies). Conclusion. Organized forms of physical activity are undertaken much less frequently by the analyzed age group mainly due to financial limitations and limited availability of sports infrastructure.

Abstract Aging is the subject of various studies by the scientific community and monitoring by responsible institutions. The intensity of aging and the proportion of age groups among various communities differ due to different socio-economic conditions and characteristics. This article researches the impact of the war in Croatia 1991–1995 and postwar living conditions on the divergence of population aging in the ethnically heterogeneous Banija region. The first postwar census in 2001 recorded a population decline of 44.9% compared to the 1991 census. We analyze the effects of the war on changes in ethnic and age structure, as well as their interrelations. The quantitative and qualitative magnitude of these demographic changes in the inter-census period had a decisive influence on the correlation of age and ethnic structure. The article examines whether the relative share of Serbs or Croats in the total population of a settlement affects the average age of the settlement. The results confirmed that the Serbs are older than the Croats, and are in the phase of the most advanced demographic age. These changes raise the question of the demographic future and the biological viability of the Serbs, who were the majority in the region before the war.

Introdução: O envelhecimento é um indicador de melhoria dos serviços de saúde. O número de idosos passará de 605 milhões, para 2 bilhões, entre os anos de 2000 e 2050. No Brasil, esse fato pode ser visto desde 2013, com uma representação relativa de 13,0% da população total. O envelhecimento compromete habilidades funcionais, aumentando o diagnóstico de doenças crônico-degenerativas, problemas de saúde e internações. Portanto este estudo teve como objetivo descrever as internações hospitalares entre idosos no Brasil. Metodologia: Este é um estudo quantitativo descritivo exploratório com base nas casuísticas de internações hospitalares, com enfoque em dados secundários contidos no Sistema de Informações Hospitalares (SIH/DATASUS), coletados através do formulário de Autorização de Internações Hospitalares (AIH), no período de 2010 a 2016. Resultados: Nos anos de 2010 a 2016, foram registradas 18.448.277 internações de idosos por diferentes causas no país. A pneumonia e a insuficiência cardíaca são as principais causas de internações, com maiores números nas regiões Sul e Sudeste. Além disso, as maiores taxas de concentração de mortalidade estão nestas regiões. Considerações finais: Os resultados encontrados neste trabalho reforçam a necessidade de uma maior utilização da atenção básica de saúde, visto que muitas patologias que acometem essa população são preveníveis e tratáveis.Abstract Introduction: Aging is an indicator of improved health services. The number of elderly people can increase from 605 million to 2 billion years between 2000 and 2050. In Brazil, this can be seen since 2013, with a relative representation of 13.0% of the total population. Aging implicates in functional skills, increases the diagnosis of chronic degenerative diseases, health problems and hospitalizations. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the hospitalizations in brazilian elderly. Methodology: This is an exploratory descriptive quantitative study based on cases of hospitalizations, with secondary data contained in the Hospital Information System (SIH/DATASUS), collected through the Hospitalization Authorization form (AIH), in the period from 2010 to 2016. Results: From 2010 to 2016 18,448,277 hospitalizations of the elderly people were registered because of different causes in the country. Pneumonia and heart failure are the main causes of hospitalization, with higher numbers in the South and Southeast. In addition, the highest mortality concentration rates are in these regions. Conclusions: The results found in this paper reinforce the need for greater use of primary health care, as many pathologies that affect this population can be prevented and treated.

Digital services are growing in the health-care field. The population in Europe is aging, and digital services are on the rise. There are also plenty of new health-care devices on the market. The aim of this study was to survey how elderly people cope with digital services or devices, especially if they are chronically ill. This quantitative study focuses on the impact of chronic diseases on the use of health technology and digital services. The target group of this study is Finnish people aged 65 or over. Based on the results, a chronic disease or disability is not an obstacle to the use of digital services or health-care technology in the Finnish elderly population. The main obstacles to the use of health technology or digital services are complexity, obscure text, or small font size. According to this study, elderly people seem to trust the device or application. Devices, applications, and online services should be designed so that elderly people’s diseases or ability to function are considered.

Aging Phenomenon

For many reasons, the elderly population in Iran is considered a growing phenomenon. An accelerated decline in birth rate in the past two decades, medical-health advances, and increased life expectancy are among the major reasons. Based on the definitions of the Country’s Population Index, Iran's elderly population, with a growth rate of 3.9% compared to the total population growth (2.29%) between 2007 and 2012 has reached to the elderly population of 8.26% in 2012, which puts Iran among countries with aging populations. Now, Iran's elderly population is 6205998 people, including approximately 48.70% aged men and 51.30% aged women. Iran, based on the age criteria of the population structure, is now faced with the aging phenomenon, and since this phenomenon encompasses health, economic and social consequences, as well as service requirements, elderly population of Iran should be comprehensively and continuously evaluated so that the health and medical officials could deal with the incident with proper planning and meet the needs of this group of the society.

Abstract Background: Child malnutrition is not only common in developing countries, but also an important issue faced by developed countries. This study aimed to explore the influence and degree of childhood starvation on the health of the elderly population, which providing a reference for formulating health-related policies under the concept of full-life cycle health. Methods: Based on CLHLS longitudinal data in 2008, 2011 and 2014, this paper took a total of 13,185 elderly people aged 65-99 years as the target population. By IMaCH software, with age, gender, and income level as the control variables, and the healthy life expectancy of the elderly in China was measured. The[test was used to explore the differences in socio-economic status of elderly people with or without starvation in childhood. The paired t test was used to analyze the difference both of healthy life expectancy and healthy life expectancy proportion accounted for remaining life. Results: (1) Transition probabilities in health-disability, health-death and disability-death(P<0.05) all showed an upward trend with age, where the elderly who experienced starvation in childhood were higher than those without such an experience. However, the probability of disability-health recovery showed a downward trend with age, whereas the elderly who experienced starvation in childhood were lower than those without starvation(P<0.05).(2) For the elderly who experienced starvation in childhood, the health indicators of the average life expectancy, healthy life expectancy, and healthy life expectancy proportion accounted for the remaining life were lower than those of the elderly without childhood starvation (P<0.05).Conclusions: The negative impact of childhood starvation on health through the life course till old age, has a persistent negative cumulative effect on the quantity and quality of life for the elderly population; Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the nutritional status of children in poor families from the perspective of social policy-making.
