“…This is relevant to the baby boomer generation who are more likely to live alone, carry private health insurance and have higher levels of education. Living alone is expected to be more common in the baby boomer generation due to higher levels of divorce compared to previous generations (Winefield et al., ), tendency for familial geographical spread (Hugo, ), and having less children of their own (Buckley et al., ). The Australian Bureau of Statistics () indicates those aged 55–64 years have the highest rates of private‐health‐insurance‐ownership in Australia.…”

“…Living alone is expected to be more common in the baby boomer generation due to higher levels of divorce compared to previous generations (Winefield et al, 2016), tendency for familial geographical spread (Hugo, 2013), One of the limitations of the health literacy research is that those with low health literacy possibly opt out of research. People with low health literacy possibly exclude themselves from participating in written types of research such as completing surveys (Bo et al, 2014;Jayasinghe et al, 2016).…”

“…Cohort size and duration of the population increase are not the only unique characteristics of the baby boomer generation. This group differs economically and socially from earlier generations, and have experienced multiple revolutionary events which will influence the ways in which they age (Hugo, 2013;Winefield, O'Dwyer, & Taylor, 2016). The baby boomer generation were the first to experience gender equality, anti-war campaigns and sexual freedom (Berkowitz & Schewe, 2011).…”

“…It is reported and forecasted by United Nations in [8] that by the year 2050, 21% of the world's population (nearly two billion people) will be more than 65 years of age [1,9]. In Australia, this proportion is estimated to increase to 25% of the total population, leading to a potential quadrupling in healthcare costs and a higher incidence of life with disability [10][11][12]. Research shows that between 2002 and 2045, 50% of the total healthcare expenditure will be directed towards the ageing population, causing a large burden on the economy [10,13].…”

According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular diseases contribute to 17.7 million deaths per year and are rising with a growing ageing population. In order to handle these challenges, the evolved countries are now evolving workable solutions based on new communication technologies such as ambient assisted living. In these solutions, the most well-known solutions are wearable devices for patient monitoring, telemedicine and mHealth systems. This systematic literature review presents the detailed literature on ambient assisted living solutions and helps to understand how ambient assisted living helps and motivates patients with cardiovascular diseases for self-management to reduce associated morbidity and mortalities. Preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses technique are used to answer the research questions. The paper is divided into four main themes, including self-monitoring wearable systems, ambient assisted living in aged populations, clinician management systems and deep learning-based systems for cardiovascular diagnosis. For each theme, a detailed investigation shows (1) how these new technologies are nowadays integrated into diagnostic systems and (2) how new technologies like IoT sensors, cloud models, machine and deep learning strategies can be used to improve the medical services. This study helps to identify the strengths and weaknesses of novel ambient assisted living environments for medical applications. Besides, this review assists in reducing the dependence on caregivers and the healthcare systems.

Workforce ageing in the Australasian Journal on Ageing: Laying the research foundations

Recent Australasian Journal on Ageing articles have made significant contributions to the research landscape underpinning the Australian Association of Gerontology's 2018 'hot topic, 'Working in ageing and working while ageing'. The articles address cornerstones of knowledge on the demography of mature age workforce participation, issues concerning the health, wellbeing and training of the older workforce and age discrimination. An article in the previous issue of the AJA by Temple and McDonald, based on Australian Bureau of Statistics data, explains increases in mature age labour supply for the period 2000 to 2015 and projections of mature age labour supply from 2015 to 2030 [1]. Over the period 2000 to 2015 increased participation resulted in an additional 786,000 persons aged 50-80 in the labour force. Between 2015 and 2030projections of increased labour supply of workers aged 50 to 80 range from 304,000 based on lowest assumptions, to 900,000, based on the higher level of New Zealand mature age participation.The authors explain that much of this increase, particularly in female labour force participation is cohort-driven, associated with cultural changes related to gender roles and the higher levels of educational attainment of the babyboomer generation. The projected increase underscores the necessity for government policies, which support extended working lives and meet the policy objective of deferring eligibility for the age pension to 70 years by 2035.
