Chapter 1Aging and Non-communicable Disease

Arora, Suchit

Pages: 1 –23

[Aging and the non-communicable diseases that accompany it are widely believed to play a vital role in healthcare spending. This chapter outlines how their historical relationship can be studied. It argues that since the nineteenth century, a key facet of modern aging has been that of change...

Chapter 2The Epidemiologic Transition

Arora, Suchit

Pages: 25 –46

[Cohorts of children brought up in the first three-quarters of the nineteenth century likely faced very high rates of infectious diseases, and their average stature turned out poor by modern standards, even falling for a series of cohorts. Coinciding with infectious diseases and their frequent...

Chapter 3The Profiles of Aging

Arora, Suchit

Pages: 47 –72

[Starting early in the adult life cycles, cohorts brought up since the early nineteenth century have traced unique profiles of non-communicable diseases, suggesting that the aging potentials across them had changed over the long term. This cross-generation or cross-cohort change seems to have...

Chapter 4Resolving the Paradox of Aging

Arora, Suchit

Pages: 73 –90

[The parameters of the cohort-profiles are able to closely simulate the period-profiles, and the associated aggregate rates of non-communicable diseases. The mix of cohorts, by shaping the period-profiles, then shapes the aggregate rate’s long-term direction. In the second half of the nineteenth...

Chapter 5Most Infectious Diseases Diminished with Age

Arora, Suchit

Pages: 91 –97

[The age-profiles of most infectious diseases do not conform to the pattern displayed by the profiles of non-communicable diseases. Prominent in the infectious disease profiles are time-, or life-course-, or period-specific events and developments that have a lasting effect on several profiles...

Chapter 6The Macro Backdrop for Children

Arora, Suchit

Pages: 99 –119

[The macroeconomic and political milieus received by successive cohorts of children since the early nineteenth century varied considerably. Over the long term, children have been brought up under growing prosperity, though beset often by economic volatility such as the one in the inter-war years....

Chapter 7In the Natural Experiment

Arora, Suchit

Pages: 121 –130

[The natural experiment offered by the cluster of political and public health reforms partitions the childhood years of the set of cohorts into pre-reform and post-reform era childhoods. This chapter explores the conditions required for any inference from such a natural experiment to be valid, as...

Chapter 8The Signals from the Childhood Years

Arora, Suchit

Pages: 131 –155

[The variables for the childhood regime (average stature, infectious diseases, and pregnancy complications), along with macro variables (volatility-adjusted per capita income, and functional distribution of income) explain a sizable segment of the variation in the profile parameters, especially...

Chapter 9Aging in Healthcare Policy

Arora, Suchit

Pages: 157 –182

[Per capita healthcare spending has been sensitive to aging, defined as the shift in the period age-profile of non-communicable diseases. Steeper profiles, compression, or more aging, has coincided with faster spending; flatter profiles, expansion, or less aging, have coincided with slower...
LitStream

Chapter 10The Transitions of Aging

Arora, Suchit

Pages: 183 –214

[This chapter posits that any spending profile is a function of the costs associated with the upward-sloping profiles of illness and of aging. It then explores the path of healthcare spending as the profiles undergo compression, expansion, and the transitions from one to the other. The following...
