TAILIEUCHUNG - Income Support Policies and Health among the Elderly 

Increasing physiological and psychological impairments with age does not mean that ageing is equivalent with illness, diseases or dependency. In fact, earlier studies could not explore that a type or the pathogenesis of diseases is only caused by the ageing process (Steinhagen-Thiessen & Borchelt 1996). Brody and Schneider (1986) distinguished between age-dependent and age-related diseases. Age-dependent diseases are involved in the ageing process and cause the exponentially increasing mortality risk with advanced age, for instance heart and cerebrovascular diseases. Age-related diseases like musculoskeletal diseases are relating temporally with age and have no causal effect on the increasing individual. | NAT OMAL POVERTY CENTER National Poverty Center Working Paper Series 06-27 July 2006 Income Support Policies and Health among the Elderly Pamela Herd University of Wisconsin Madison James House University of Michigan Robert F.

This begins to explain why the . lags behind most other wealthy nations in life expectancy and infant mortality although the . spends far more on health care and biomedical research than any other nation United Nations Development Programme 2004 . At the same time there are strong and well documented associations between health and socioeconomic factors. This suggests that nonhealth factors - . social and economic determinants -and related policies deserve heightened attention alongside biomedical factors in determining individual and population health. Although researchers and policymakers increasingly recognize the general importance of social and economic factors for health the peer-review research literature includes very limited research on or discussion of the health effects of public policy in these nonhealth domains. In particular though there is a large and rapidly growing body of research that documents a strong and robust association of income with .
