“…Health declines with age so as the number and percentage of older people increases, it is reasonable to expect that, if everything else is held constant, spending on health care will increase. An extensive review of the literature on health care expenditure by van Elk et al (2010) found that "the effect of the population's age structure is usually insignificant". As Uwe Reinhardt observes, "at age 60 or so, health spending per capita rises sharply with age" (Reinhardt, 2008).…”

Political debates about the affordability of health care programmes in high-income countries often point to population ageing as a threat to sustainability. Debates in the United States, in particular, highlight concerns about intergenerational equity, whereby spending on older people is perceived as a threat to spending on the young. This paper compares how the problem of health spending is defined in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States by presenting the results of a content analysis of print media during the period 2005-2010. We found that population ageing was cited as an important source of health care cost increases in all three countries but was cited less frequently in Canadian newspapers than in the UK or US papers. Direct claims about intergenerational equity are infrequent among the articles we coded, but newspaper articles in the United States were more likely than those in Canada and the United Kingdom to claim that of high health care spending on older people takes resources away from younger people. In Canada a much larger percentage of articles in our sample either claimed that high health care spending is crowding out other types of government expenditure. Finally, we found that almost no articles in the United States challenged the view that population ageing causes health care spending, whereas in both Canada and the United Kingdom a small, but steady stream of articles challenged the idea that population ageing is to blame for health care spending increases.

“…Health care expenditures are considered to be at least in part influenced by the aging population, but the increase of performing specialised surgical procedures also contributes to high hospital costs. [1][2][3] Post-operative complications also substantially increase the use of additional resources per patient and prolong the hospital stay, raising medical costs even further. [4][5][6][7][8] A pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is a typical example of a complex, highly specialised surgical procedure.…”

“…These consequences include a greater demand for health services for a large proportion of the population over time and threaten health care systems already at risk from the current economic crisis and social and demographic changes. As a result, experts are searching for new ways to provide better health care services at sustainable costs (Bernal‐Delgado & Ortun‐Rubio, 2010; Brito‐Sanfiel, Diago‐Cabezudo, & Calderón, 2010; Van Elk, Mot, & Franses, 2010).…”

The Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLPII) has been psychometrically validated across several linguistic and cultural groups; however the Spanish version has not been psychometrically tested for the Spanish population. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the reliability and factor structure of the Spanish version of the HPLPII for Spanish people. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that a six-component model for 44 items accounted for 40% of the variance, and the scale had an internal consistency of .87. Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that a better fit of the six-component structure emerged from the PCA than from the model proposed in the original version of the HPLPII, suggesting that the health-promoting lifestyle might be sensitive to context and culture.
