dc.description.abstract | How did the study come about?
Ireland shares with other developed countries the prospect
of rapid and sustained population ageing. The
age distribution of the Irish population is undergoing
a dramatic change at present and this trend is predicted
to continue into the future.1 People are living
longer, and older persons represent a larger proportion
of the population. In Ireland, the proportion of
the population aged 565 years has remained steady
at 11% for the past 40 years. However, it is projected
that this proportion will rise to 14% by 2021 and to
19% by 2031.2 The greatest increase will be in the
oldest old, aged 480 years, which is expected to
more than treble by 2036.2 This change in the demographic
profile of the Irish population poses a major
public health challenge. | en |
