With longevity and declining fertility rates, the population of
older persons (60 years and above) is globally growing faster than
the general population. The percentage of the elderly in India for
example has been growing at an increasing rate in recent years and
the trend is likely to continue in the coming decades. The share of
population over the age of 60 years is projected to increase from 8
percent in 2015 to 19 percent in 2050. By the end of the century,
the elderly will constitute nearly 34 percent of the total
population in the country. In this book we aimed to identify
trajectories of health and their associations with lifestyle
factors in a nationally representative cohort study of middle-aged
and older Indians. We discuss self-rated health status, age
discrimination, major injuries, recurrent falls, perceived everyday
discrimination, elder abuse, hypertension, diabetes, angina
pectoris, stroke, arthritis, back pain or problems, oral health
problems, cataract, edentulism, hearing loss, tobacco use, alcohol
use, loneliness, health care discrimination, weight discrimination,
religiosity and well-being. We hope that the findings may aid
public policy and programmes for middle-aged and older adults in
India.
