Abstract

Since the 1950s, life expectancy in Europe and the United States has improved at a steady pace, driven mostly by gains at older ages. However, these lives are punctuated by more chronic disease than ever before, contributing to substantial morbidity and disability. Using the Future Elderly Model, we simulate longevity and disability over the remaining lifetime for cohorts of older Europeans and Americans. We see that investment in both treatment and prevention for cancer, diabetes, and heart disease show tremendous promise for breaking Europe and the United States out of the expensive equilibrium we now find ourselves in as a result of demographic gains.

在欧洲和美国预防慢性病的回报

自20世纪50年代以来，欧洲和美国的预期寿命稳步提高，主要是由于老年人的增长。然而，这些人的生活中穿插着比以往任何时候都多的慢性病，导致了大量的发病率和残疾。使用未来老年人模型，我们模拟了欧洲和美国老年人在剩余寿命内的寿命和残疾。我们看到，在癌症、糖尿病和心脏病的治疗和预防方面的投资显示出巨大的希望，可以打破欧洲和美国因人口增长而陷入的昂贵平衡。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
