Demographic analysis of aging and longevity
Article Abstract:
Recent biomedical and health care developments have led to longer life spans, particularly for people of older ages. These changes have afforded the growth of the aged population beyond the foreseen ages of survival. Most developed and developing countries have reported decreased mortality at older ages. The aged population is increasing due to the decrease in infant and childhood mortality as well as the decrease in mortality between childhood and gerontology.
