Social and economic implications
                       of population aging
         • Population aging represents, in one sense,
           a success story for mankind
                     – But it also poses profound challenges to
                       public institutions that must adapt to a
                       changing age structure.
         • Increase in the older retired population,
           decrease in population of working ages,
                     – Creates social and political pressures on
                       social support systems.

Mental Health




Vincent van Gogh, who himself suffered from depression and committed suicide, painted this picture in 1890 of a man that can symbolize the desperation and hopelessness felt in depression.

Depression and lifestyle
• It has been found that people with major
  depression tend to have poorer health
  behaviors, specially those which are risk factors
  for obesity and diabetes (Talbot F, & Nouwen, 2000; Knol, Twisk, & Beekman, 2006).


  – Unhealthy diet
  – Smoking
  – Sedentary lifestyles

Psychiatric disorders and Diabetes
• Some psychiatric disorders, such as
  depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia,
  have been associated with diabetes (Lean, &
  Pajonk, 2003; Anderson, Freedland, & Clouse, 2001; Lustman,
  Anderson, & Freedland, 2000; Lustman, 1988).

• Individuals with diabetes have twice the
  risk of suffering from depression than
  people without diabetes (Anderson, Freedland, &
  Clouse, 2001)

Depression and Unemployment
   • Unemployment is a risk factor for
     psychological symptoms of depression
     requiring medical attention
              – Even in those men without previous
                psychological vulnerability.
                         • Adjusted RR = 2.10 (95% CI: 1.21 - 3.63).

Physical activity is associated with

        quot;We know that diet is important,quot; said co-
     author Chris Riddoch, Ph.D., of Bath
     University, quot;but what this research tells us is
     that we mustn't forget about activity.“
       quot;It's been really surprising to us how even
     small amounts of exercise appear to have
     dramatic results,quot; he said in a statement.
