International Brief Mortality and Health

چکیده
In particular, countries need to plan for the health needs of older women. Although the elderly are as diverse demographically, socially, and economically as the nonelderly, one notable difference between these broad groups is the relative number of men and women. While boys outnumber girls in all countries, gender differences in mortality eventually produce a changing sex balance within a population. By age 30 or 35, women start to outnumber men, and the absolute female advantage increases with age. Elderly women greatly outnumber elderly men in most nations, and therefore the health and socioeconomic problems of the elderly are, to a large extent, the problems of elderly women.
