TAILIEUCHUNG - HEALTH AND NUTRITIONAL STATUS OF THE ELDERLY IN THE FORMER YUGOSLAV REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA

This section presents a review of literature on elderly housing and its consumption. It includes those published papers that have used AHS data in the analyses. The papers that did not use AHS data are included in Appendix A. We identified and reviewed 12 studies, including those mentioned in our original research plan and others identified as a result of online and library database searches. Roughly half of the reviewed studies made use of the AHS data. Three papers were identified that used AHS data to investigate elderly housing consumption. . | EUR 00 5015388 ENGLISH ONLY UNEDITED E72060 WHO REGIONAL OFFICE FOR EUROPE HEALTH AND NUTRITIONAL STATUS OF THE ELDERLY IN THE FORMER YUGOSLAV REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA Results of a national household survey November 1999 Scherfigsvej 8 DK-2100 Copenhagen 0 Denmark Tel. 45 39 17 17 17 Telefax 45 39 17 18 18 Telex 12000 E-mail postmaster@ web site http 2001 European HEALTH21 target 11 European Health21 Target 11 Healthier living By the year 2015 people across society should have adopted healthier patterns of living Adopted by the WHO Regional Committee for Europe at its forty-eighth session Copenhagen September 1998 abstract Elderly people themselves are growing older increasing the numbers and proportions of the very old.

In 1999 World Health Day focused on the goal of Active Aging. An aging population should not be seen as a crisis. The real crisis of aging where it exists is the personal crisis of day-to-day existence - a present reality faced by older individuals and their carers. Health policies must respond by increasing the quality of life of both present and future cohorts of elderly populations. Prior to this survey information has not been available at a population level on the health and nutritional status of the elderly in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. WHO therefore advocated and provided resources for the inclusion of the elderly within a national survey of health and nutrition planned by UNICEF. It is hoped that the information gained will be of use in raising awareness of the needs of this important and growing sector of society and provide a useful resource for policy-makers and planners.
