WHO 2 indicates that the world population is aging rapidly. The world population over 60 will double between 2000 and 2050, as it will increase from approximately 11% to 22%. Increasing in this period from 605 million to 2 billion people age or over 60 years. The number of elderly equal to or greater than 80 years, not double, but quadruple. There will in the world about 400 million people with equal or older than 80 years in 2050, representing 20% of older adults.2
