Ageing Population. The Parties shall exchange views and experiences on policy issues concerning an ageing population.
Ageing Population. In St.Helens, the number of people in older age groups is increasing. This can be seen positively, as it is partly related to longer life expectancies. It is also due to the population profile of the Borough and national trends. For example, a child born at the start of the post-World War 2 ‘baby boom’ in 1946 would be 70 years old in 2016. As people born in this cohort age, and as people live longer on average, we expect the numbers and proportions in older ages to increase further. The chart on the next page shows how the numbers of people aged 75 to 84 years and 85 years and over is expected to increase up to the year 2026. In total for St.Helens, this means an expected average of 632 extra patients aged 75 years and above, each year, for the next ten years. As so many diseases and conditions are linked to increasing age, this could potentially put a significant strain on health and social care services in future years. 25000 20000 15000 10000 85+ 75-84 5000 0 3915 4726 5848 11746 13527 16134
