There is increasing concern and research around the health issues of ageing, not least because of the increasing proportion of older people in many populations [1]
While the overall shape of this population pyramid is perhaps unsurprising, there are several points to note. It is only among the over-85 age group that the elderly of the more developed countries out-number those of the less- and least-developed countries

There is increasing concern and research around the health issues of ageing, not least because of the increasing proportion of older people in many populations [1]. The numbers behind the global situation, though, clearly show that issues of ageing are by no means restricted to more affluent settings [5]. It is only among the over-85 age group that the elderly of the more developed countries out-number those of the less- and least-developed countries.
