The increasing aging population means that the total global burden of diseases more specifically, non-communicable diseases associated with longer lives like Alzheimer's and Arthirits will be more prevelant.

# data[].attributes.body
-Older people are usually weaker and are more likely to get sick
-non communicable diseases increases

# data[].attributes.body
- non-communicable diseases increases as infections (communicable diseases) are more controlled

# data[].attributes.body
An increase in chronic diseases and sensory disabilities as elderly people often have weaker immune systems. As mortality decreases, nutrition improves and infections are more controlled

# data[].attributes.body
- non-communicable diseases increases as infections (communicable diseases) are more controlled

# data[].attributes.body
It will be higher. Older people are weaker and require more resources to keep themselves healthy. More diseases of affluence appear and there are many more non-communicable diseases.

# data[].attributes.body
the burden of disease, with an ageing population, will arise from more disability than mortality, which means long term care costs will outweigh health expenditure.
cardiovascular diseases become more prevalent with the epidemiological transition. As nutrition improves and mortality decreases. infextions are more controlled and heart problems become more common, contributing to most mortalities.

# data[].attributes.body
% non communicable diseases will increase due to longevity related diseases like dementia. 23% of the global burden comes from people over 60. However in the future there might also be an increase in communicable diseases due to climate change and people moving into animal habitats. A good example of this is COVID-19

# data[].attributes.body
- mortality decreases as healthcare and nutrition improves, life expectancy is greater. long life expectancy and low fertility leads to ageing population
- diseases that affect elderly people will become more prevalent:
non communicable/ diseases of affluence e.g. dementia, vision impairment and cardiovascular diseases.
- increased proportion of chronic diseases (non communicable) in older people
- leads to larger social costs for governments as people will need more long term care, more health facilities for elderly people

# data[].attributes.body
-elderly people often have weaker/diminished immune systems
-therefore, chronic diseases prey easier on them
-resulting in an increase of NCDs in comparison to CDs

# data[].attributes.body
-There can be many implications. NCD's would increase as older people normally have weak immune systems which makes it easier for diseases to attack them then, they will need more medical resources to keep healthy. Therefore, there would be an increase of NCDs
-CD are more controlled

# data[].attributes.body
in terms of types of disease:
increase of non-communicable
- more disease of longevity -> dementia + Alzheimers that are - more prevalent amongst elders

# data[].attributes.body
- high ageing pop = high health burden , especially in HICS (50 percent of health burden coming from ageing pop age 60+)
- As mortality decreases, nutrition improves and infections are controlled
- increase in Non communicable diseases

# data[].attributes.body
- Burden of disease would increase.
- The number of NCDs would increase such as dementia and Alzheimer's are more common in elderly people due to ageing and weaker immune systems.
- With a general decline in health due to an ageing population, things such as required doctor visits, surgery, physical therapy, hospital stays, and prescription medicine would increase.
