Area of Science:

  • Historical analysis of medicine and social policy.
  • Gerontology and public health research.

Context:

  • Rising healthcare costs for the elderly challenge the welfare state.
  • The historical relationship between medicine, social policy, and aging populations is examined.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the impact of changing perceptions of old age on the health system from the mid-19th century to the present.

Summary:

  • Geriatric health needs were marginalized in the late 19th century but gained prominence, forming the core of the modern welfare state since the 1950s.
  • Evidence includes shifting medical focus on geriatrics, inclusion of the elderly in health insurance, and changes in hospital patient demographics.
  • A model for the transition in medical service allocation across age and sex groups is proposed.
