    Mortality rates for older adults have declined, but illness and disability may be increasing. Improved data collection and utilization are crucial for future public health needs, especially with a growing elderly population.

    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Public Health
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Mortality trends show a significant shift, with a higher proportion of deaths occurring in older age groups compared to 1900.
    • While mortality has declined for those 65 and over, particularly between 1920-1945 and since 1970, rising rates of illness and disability across all age groups are a growing concern.
    • The measurement of morbidity and disability presents significant data challenges, highlighting a critical need for standardized approaches.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the evolving landscape of aging, mortality, and morbidity.
    • To emphasize the need for improved data collection and utilization in health research.
    • To advocate for advancements in health information technology and policy to support an aging population.

    • Analysis of historical mortality data for individuals aged 65 and over.
    • Review of current trends in illness and disability.
    • Discussion of data limitations and future needs in health information systems.

    Main Results:

    • Significant declines in age-specific mortality for older adults have been observed.
    • There is emerging evidence suggesting an increase in disability rates across various age groups.
    • Data on functional status and morbidity measurement are identified as areas requiring substantial improvement.

    Conclusions:

    • The aging population presents unique challenges requiring better data and health information systems.
    • Standardization of morbidity and disability measurement is essential for accurate assessment and care.
    • Future public health strategies must address the growing needs of the elderly population, necessitating advancements in research, data utilization, and potentially privacy legislation.
