The costs--economic and social--of projected increased use of long-term care services by the oldest old will be borne by third-party payers and by their families, who already supply the bulk of personal care services in the community. However, use of health services is concerned among a relatively small group of disabled aged; efficient planning for those aged 85 and over requires early reliable identification of those most in need. Life table models can be used to display health care policy options.
预计最年长老人对长期护理服务使用的增加所带来的经济和社会成本，将由第三方支付者及其家庭承担，而他们已经在社区中提供了大部分个人护理服务。然而，只有相对少数的残疾老年人对医疗服务的使用存在担忧；针对85岁及以上老年人的有效规划需要尽早可靠地识别出最有需求的人群。生命表模型可用于展示医疗保健政策选项。
