Free Public Lecture: Living Longer - a Social Revolution
The last 50 years have seen profound changes in death rates for several major groups of diseases, particularly heart disease and cancer. Changes and improvements in lifestyle and healthcare have produced these dramatic effects, which have led to marked increases in life expectancy leading to a dramatic change in age distributions across the population.
This evening’s session will look at what has driven these changes, the challenges created by having a much larger number of elderly individuals, and will contrast this with the continuing challenges which exist in the care of the youngest and most vulnerable members of our community.
