The potential for pandemic is still disturbingly real. It is unfortunate that by. | Gender and Health Gender Health November 2003 and Ageing In 2000 approximately 10 of the world s people were 60 years old or older. According to the United Nations Medium Variant population projection falling fertility and mortality rates will cause this figure to rise to over 20 by 2050. This means that 400 million older people will be living in the developed countries - and over one and a half billion in the less-developed world Clearly the interests of the elderly including their health concerns are poised to take on greater prominence in coming years. The basic diseases which afflict older men and women are the same cardiovascular diseases cancers musculoskeletal problems diabetes mental illnesses sensory impairments incontinence and - especially in poorer parts of the world - infectious diseases and their sequelae. However rates trends and specific types of these diseases differ between women and men. Perhaps more importantly the gender picture of a given society - the complex pattern of roles responsibilities norms values freedoms and limitations that define what is thought of as masculine and feminine in a given time and place - has a great bearing on the health of the aged. What do we know The diseases of old age often begin much earlier in life. The conditions that currently account for the bulk of mortality and morbidity among older people stem from experiences and behaviours at younger ages. Smoking alcohol abuse infectious disease undernutrition and overnutrition poverty lack of access to education dangerous work conditions violence poor health care injuries - experience of any of these early in life and throughout the life course can lead to poor health in later years. Since the gender pattern in a given society affects the degree to which women and men are exposed to these various risk factors it has an effect on their health in later years as well. The patterns and impact of the major diseases of the elderly vary between men and women. .
