Health of Elderly Australia

How Australian health care system supports the aging population in Australia Introduction Since 1901, the population of the elderly in Australia has increased dramatically, with an estimated 65-year-old population accounting for less than 15% of the Australian population (Northern Health Study). The central age of this country rose from 22 to 35, and the population aged 0-14 declined from 35.1% in 1901 to 20.7% in 2001 (Mayne Health Research). As this "aging of the country" continues to reflect the global trend, residents of elderly nursing homes throughout the country are flooded.

Introduction: Measurement of the health condition of the elderly is still an important issue. Self-assessment health status (SRH) is thought to be a simple indicator of the health condition of elderly people. However, some researchers are still skeptical about their reliability. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the SRH index and the health condition of the elderly and to examine the subsequent impact on public health. METHOD: We interviewed 1096 people over 60 years old from 1784 households in Beijing suburbs using multistage hierarchical cluster sampling method. Measure SRH with one question "Please select a point within the range of 0 to 100 that best represents today's health condition." Also check the condition of the disease and the condition of the physical function. Perform multiple linear regression to test the association between SRH and individual disease / function status

Individual Self-Assessed Health Indicators are Related to Objective Health Condition of the Elderly: Investigation in the Suburbs of Beijing

According to the Commonwealth Fund International Senior Health Policy Survey in 2017, Americans over the age of 65 are more susceptible to sickness than the elderly such as Canada, Australia, Sweden, France, Germany, from 500 people over the age of 65 to 7000 People are subject to survey. Survey In any country. More than one-third of people suffer from three or more chronic diseases. Older Americans also have economic barriers to their care (23%) and can not afford to buy it, so they can not get the help they need (24%). Australia is ranked second for cost-related access issues (13% and 22% for both indicators). The interview was held online and from this March until June.
