Description

As the population of women over 65 grows rapidly, understanding the unique challenges of aging is more important than ever. This book explores the dramatic shifts in mortality rates and life expectancy that have changed the landscape of modern demographics. With women outnumbering men 2-to-1 among those aged 85 and over, the need for specialized quality care and services is rising. This research examines how longer lifespans impact the way women interact with health care and human services. It addresses the specific realities women face in later years, including chronic health problems, personal losses, and the risks of impoverishment. By analyzing these trends, the text provides a foundation for understanding the growing role of women as significant consumers of medical and social services. It is an essential resource for those studying public health, aging, and the evolving needs of an older female population.
