The Ones We Seldom See: Old Folks in Young Countries

The Ones We Seldom See: Old Folks in Young Countries It has long been thought that demographic aging and its attendant implications for health and social services is primarily a problem for industrialized wealthy countries. Nothing could be further from the truth since most older persons (and an increasingly higher number) reside in low‐income countries. Through a description of a home visit to older women in the small town of Gondar, Ethiopia, the general state of older persons in sub‐Saharan Africa is addressed.

Abstract

It has long been thought that demographic aging and its attendant implications for health and social services is primarily a problem for industrialized wealthy countries. Nothing could be further from the truth since most older persons (and an increasingly higher number) reside in low‐income countries. Through a description of a home visit to older women in the small town of Gondar, Ethiopia, the general state of older persons in sub‐Saharan Africa is addressed. J Am Geriatr Soc 67:2240–2244, 2019
