Annotation | The policy implications of the growing centenarian population are considered. This summary of a report published with support from Age UK also examines the demography; health and need for social care; housing and wealth; and quality of life for this group. The work is guided by four key questions. How large is the current UK centenarian population and how much is this expected to grow? How does the health of centenarians compare to that of younger age cohorts and how is this expected to change?. What are the housing circumstances of the centenarian population and what are the other distinctive socioeconomic characteristics of centenarians? What are the key components of quality of life for centenarians and how does the quality of life of centenarians compare with other age cohorts? Gaps in the evidence base are identified, and key policy recommendations to address the issues raised are proposed. (RH) |
