Define aging and compare high-income and low-income countries
What will be an ideal response?
Eventually all of us will be affected by aging. Aging is the physical,
psychological, and social processes associated with growing older. In the
United States and some other high-income countries, older people are
the targets of prejudice and discrimination based on myths about aging.
Almost 90 percent of the people living in the high-income countries today
are expected to survive to age 65 . In the United States, about 85 percent
of the women and 77 percent of the men born between 1995 and 2000
are expected to survive to that age. By sharp contrast, in low-income
countries such as Zambia, Uganda, and Rwanda, nearly half of the total
population in each nation is not expected to survive to age 40.
