BACKGROUND The proportion of the elderly aged 65 years old or above will reach 16% in 2050 worldwide. Early investment in effective prevention would generally reduce the morbidity, complication, functional disability, and mortality of most chronic illnesses and save resources in both healthcare and social services. This research aims to investigate how the optimal allocation of medical resources between prevention and treatment adds value to the population's health as well as examine the interaction between ageing, health, and economic performance. METHODS This research undertakes ageing-health analyses by developing an economic growth model. Based on the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) countries' experiences over the period from 2000 to 2017, this research further examines the hypothesis that an ageing society could increase demand for preventive and curative healthcare. RESULTS Theoretical analysis found that the prevention share for maximizing growth is the same as that for minimizing ill health and maximizing welfare; this share increases with treatment share and ageing ratios. Estimation results from OECD countries' experiences indicate that when treatment share increases by 1%, the prevention demand increases by 0.036%. A one-percent increase in the ageing ratio yields a change in prevention share of 0.0368%. The optimal share of prevention health expenditure to GDP would be 1.175% when the prevalence rate of ill health isat 6.13%; a higher or lower share of prevention would be accompanied with a higher prevalence of ill health. For example, a zero and 1.358% preventive health expenditure would be associated with an 18.01% prevalence of ill health, while the current share of prevention of 0.237% is associated with a 10.26% prevalence of ill health. CONCLUSION This study shows that appropriate prevention is associated with decreases in the prevalence rates of ill health, which in turn attains sustainable growth in productivity. Too much prevention, however, could lead to higher detection of new chronic diseases with mild severity, which would result in longer illness duration, and higher prevalence rates of ill health. With suitable allocation of medical resources, the economic growth rate will help to cancel out increases in healthcare spending for the elderly and for expenses needed for the improvement of the population's health as a whole.

在老龄化社会投资预防保健和经济发展:来自经合组织国家的经验证据。

背景技术到2050年,全球65岁及以上老年人口比例将达到16%。对有效预防的早期投资通常会降低大多数慢性病的发病率、并发症、功能障碍和死亡率,并节省医疗保健和社会服务方面的资源。本研究旨在调查预防和治疗之间医疗资源的最佳分配如何为人口健康增加价值,并检查老龄化、健康和经济绩效之间的相互作用。方法 本研究通过开发经济增长模型进行老龄化-健康分析。根据经济合作与发展组织 (OECD) 国家在 2000 年至 2017 年期间的经验,这项研究进一步检验了老龄化社会可能会增加对预防和治疗保健的需求的假设。结果 理论分析发现,最大化增长的预防份额与最小化不良健康和最大化福利的预防份额相同;这一比例随着治疗比例和老龄化比例而增加。经合组织国家的经验估算结果表明,当治疗份额增加 1% 时,预防需求增加 0.036%。老龄化率每增加 1%,预防份额就会发生 0.0368% 的变化。当疾病患病率为 6.13% 时,预防卫生支出占 GDP 的最佳份额为 1.175%;更高或更低的预防份额将伴随着更高的健康不良发生率。例如,零和 1。358% 的预防性卫生支出与 18.01% 的疾病患病率相关,而目前 0.237% 的预防支出与 10.26% 的疾病患病率相关。结论 本研究表明,适当的预防与健康不良患病率的降低有关,从而实现生产力的可持续增长。然而,过多的预防可能会导致更多的轻度新慢性病被发现,这将导致更长的疾病持续时间和更高的健康不良患病率。在合理配置医疗资源的情况下,经济增长速度将有助于抵消老年人医疗保健支出和提高全民健康水平所需支出的增长。01% 的健康不良患病率,而当前 0.237% 的预防份额与 10.26% 的健康不良患病率相关。结论 本研究表明,适当的预防与健康不良患病率的降低有关,从而实现生产力的可持续增长。然而,过多的预防可能会导致更多的轻度新慢性病被发现,这将导致更长的疾病持续时间和更高的健康不良患病率。在合理配置医疗资源的情况下,经济增长速度将有助于抵消老年人医疗保健支出和提高全民健康水平所需支出的增长。01% 的健康不良患病率,而当前 0.237% 的预防份额与 10.26% 的健康不良患病率相关。结论 本研究表明,适当的预防与健康不良患病率的降低有关,从而实现生产力的可持续增长。然而,过多的预防可能会导致更多的轻度新慢性病被发现,这将导致更长的疾病持续时间和更高的健康不良患病率。在合理配置医疗资源的情况下,经济增长速度将有助于抵消老年人医疗保健支出和提高全民健康水平所需支出的增长。26% 的健康不良患病率。结论 本研究表明,适当的预防与健康不良患病率的降低有关,从而实现生产力的可持续增长。然而,过多的预防可能会导致更多的轻度新慢性病被发现,这将导致更长的疾病持续时间和更高的健康不良患病率。在合理配置医疗资源的情况下,经济增长速度将有助于抵消老年人医疗保健支出和提高全民健康水平所需支出的增长。26% 的健康不良患病率。结论 本研究表明,适当的预防与健康不良患病率的降低有关,从而实现生产力的可持续增长。然而,过多的预防可能会导致更多的轻度新慢性病被发现,这将导致更长的疾病持续时间和更高的健康不良患病率。在合理配置医疗资源的情况下,经济增长速度将有助于抵消老年人医疗保健支出和提高全民健康水平所需支出的增长。可能会导致更多地发现新的轻症慢性病,这将导致更长的疾病持续时间和更高的健康不良患病率。在合理配置医疗资源的情况下,经济增长速度将有助于抵消老年人医疗保健支出和提高全民健康水平所需支出的增长。可能会导致更多地发现新的轻症慢性病,这将导致更长的疾病持续时间和更高的健康不良患病率。在合理配置医疗资源的情况下,经济增长速度将有助于抵消老年人医疗保健支出和提高全民健康水平所需支出的增长。
