Chronic care and integrated care in Catalonia

Abstract

In Catalonia we are facing new challenges with a deep ageing process of population comparing with other European countries. In 2050 over 30% and 12% population will be over 65 and 80 years old respectively. As a consequence an increasing number of people with chronic conditions will increase very intensively. Nowdays we have 17% and 4,4% population over 65 and 80 years old
