Abstract
![CDATA[Background: The population worldwide is aging. People > 60 years will increase from 606 million in 2000 to nearly 2 billion in 2050. An aging population places new and increased demands on health care. Older people are disproportionately heavy users of health services. Improving the health and well-being of older people has been identified as a major goal by many governments around the world.]]
