Dear All,
The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare has released a new report today:
Changes in life expectancy and disability in Australia 1998 to 2009
This report shows that older Australians are living longer and, on average, getting more years of life without severe or profound limitation in basic daily activities. On the other hand, the ageing of the Australian population and increasing longevity are leading to a greater number of older people with disability and severe or profound activity limitation.
AIHW catalogue number (AUS 166).
Available from CanPrint for $18.00 (1300 889 873).
View the media release and download the full report for free online.
