  • The Psychology of Aging: Canadian Research in an International Context

  • Roger A. Dixon, Anna-Lisa Cohen
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    29 November 2010, pp. 125-148

  • The psychology of aging includes a variety of theoretical perspectives, methodological conventions, and techniques and targets of application. Psychological aging-related processes include phenomena from such disparate domains as neurological, sensory, physiological, physical health, mental health, cognition, personality and affect, social, family, interactional, and coping and adjustment. Canadian researchers actively contribute to these and other research topics and professional issues. We summarize a broad and inclusive model of the psychology of aging and highlight some of the ways in which Canadian research and training reflects and advances numerous pertinent scholarly agendas.

  • APOCALYPSE NO: Population Aging and The Future of Health Care Systems

  • Robert G. Evans, Kimberlyn M. McGrail, Steven G. Morgan, Morris L. Barer, Clyde Hertzman
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    29 November 2010, pp. 160-191

  • Illness increases with age. All else being equal, an older population has greater needs for health care. This logic has led to dire predictions of skyrocketing costs “apocalyptic demography”. Yet numerous studies have shown that aging effects are relatively small, and all else is not equal. Cost projections rest on specific assumptions about trends in age-specific morbidity and health care use that are far from self-evident. Sharply contrasting assumptions, for example, are made by Fries, who foresees a “of morbidity” and falling needs. Long-term trends in health care use in British Columbia show minimal effects of population aging, but major effects, up and down, from changes in age-specific use patterns. Why then is the demographic apocalypse story so persistent, despite numerous contrary studies? It serves identifiable economic interests.
