DEMOGRAPHY OF AGING
POPULATION AND
IMPLICATIONS TO HEALTH
AND NURSING CARE
ALICE JOY M.AQUINO
IMPLICATIONS
TO HEALTH
1. Improved public health and clinical
care led to an increase in the
average life span
2. Individuals over the age of 85
make up the fastest-growing group
3. lead to extended treatment of long-
term chronic conditions,
challenging the healthcare system’s
ability to provide efficient care.
IMPLICATIONS TO
NURSING CARE
o 1. Multiculturalism affects the nature of illness and disease
as well as morbidity and mortality
o 2. Nurses must learn to adapt their practice to various
cultural values and beliefs.
o 3.Relevant factors include national origin, religious
affiliation, language, gender, sexual orientation, age,
disability, socioeconomic status and more
o 4 Nursing practice, education and perspectives must adapt
and respond to changing demographics because nurses
play an increasingly important role in healthcare delivery.
o 5Nurses are in an ideal position to communicate with older
adults about self-care strategies to prevent further illness
while maintaining their independence, functioning, and
mental and physical health
Key considerations for elder
care delivery
● Identify ways to improve healthcare
, and quality of life for older adults across care settings, from the
nursing home to the community
● Interpersonal interactions, between older adults and family members or nursing staff, among different
levels of staff in a nursing home, which can influence older adults’ quality of life and health-related
outcomes
● Assessing multiple types of intervention, analytical parameters and environmental settings to fully
understand the complexity of healthcare issues facing older adults and to produce the most positive health
outcomes
Nurses communicate with older adults about self-care strategies to prevent further illness while maintaining
their independence, functioning, and mental and physical health.
Nurses will practice using traditional methods such as preventive care and holistic wellness; however, they
will also be called on to provide leadership in navigating shifts in patient demography
AGING IN THE PHILIPPINES
Demography
The Philippines has the thirteenth-highest population in the world. Over 117.3 million people call the Philippines home as
of 2023 and the UN Population Fund predicts that number will double by 2069.
As for the percentage of the old population, there are 6 percent aged 60 and older given the high fertility rate of 5.7, a
relatively high rate compared to many other countries worldwide.
According to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), in 2023, the
life expectancy at birth is 70 years for men and 74 years for women, while the mean age is 67. With a relatively high
population density, averaging 393.53 per km, the population is concentrated in urban regions, with about 45% of people
residing there compared to 55% in rural areas. Like many other countries, the Philippines is experiencing a rapidly
aging population with the number of older people in 2050 expected to double in size - from 7 million to approximately 14
million in less than thirty years. This can strain healthcare systems, social welfare programs,
and families who may struggle to care for older adults as their care needs increase.
G I V I N G VA LU E T O H U M A N W O RT H
The Philippines has a unique culture and set of circumstances that can impact the process of aging
and how older adults are perceived and cared for. With a robust family-oriented culture, families
traditionally revered and cared for their older members. This is often reflected in how living
arrangements are structured, with multiple generations living under one roof or near each other.
Taking care of parents, especially in their old age, is considered a traditional and cultural practice
in the Philippines.
In Filipino culture, respect for older adults and family is highly valued, and caring for aging parents
is considered a responsibility of adult children. As a result, older adults in the Philippines often rely
on their families for financial and emotional support. A Filipino term for this practice is
"Pagpapakatao", which translates to "giving value to human worth". It refers to the obligation of
children to take care of their aging parents as a way of honoring them for the sacrifices they made
to raise and provide for their children.
As shown in the graph below,
58 percent of the older adults
in this country, depend on
their children as the primary
source of financial support and
