To explore the rapid rise of the extremely old population, showing the magnitude of the increase and identifying demographic mechanisms underlying this increase.
Demographic analysis using census data, yearly population estimates, and mortality statistics.
Switzerland 1860-2001.
Indicators suggest a strong increase in the number of nonagenarians and centenarians in Switzerland as compared with other countries. The increase is mostly attributable to the decline in mortality after age 80. This decline started in the 1950s.
Nonagenarians and centenarians constitute a new population, which became sizeable after 1950 in Switzerland. There is a need to monitor this population with appropriate demographic and epidemiological indicators.
探讨高龄老人人口的快速增长,展示增长幅度并确定增长背后的人口统计学机制。
使用人口普查数据、年度人口估计数和死亡率统计数据进行人口分析。
1860 - 2001年的瑞士。
指标显示,与其他国家相比,瑞士的九旬老人和百岁老人数量大幅增加。这种增加主要归因于80岁以后死亡率的下降。这种下降始于20世纪50年代。
九旬老人和百岁老人构成了一个新的群体,在瑞士,这个群体在1950年后规模变得可观。有必要用适当的人口统计学和流行病学指标对这一群体进行监测。
