Adverse Childhood Experiences and Adult Risk Factors for Age-Related Disease (2009, neutral): “D ECLINING FERTILITY RATES and increasing life expectancy are leading to global population aging.(1) As the population ages, the public health impact of age-related conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and dementia, increases.”
The Low Fertility Trap Hypothesis: Forces that May Lead to Further Postponement and Fewer Births in Europe (2006, background): “12 Actually IIASA’s most recent probabilistic population projections indicate a probability of more than 85 percent that world population will peak during this century and then start to decline (Lutz et al. 2008).”
Human iPSC-based Modeling of Late-Onset Disease via Progerin-induced Aging (2013, neutral): “The incidence of PD will likely continue to rise because it is estimated that by 2050, 21.8% of the projected world population (approximately two billion people) will be over 60 years of age (Lutz et al., 2008).”
Sustainable manufacturing: trends and research challenges (2012, background): “The global population will keep growing, reaching the number of 9 billion by 2050 (UN 2009) with a probability of less than 10% to be 11 billion in 2100 (Lutz et al. 2008).”
Population Ageing and Socially Assistive Robots for Elderly Persons: The Importance of Sociodemographic Factors for User Acceptance (2012, background): “In view of the increasing demand for care personnel, societies around the world have to find strategies for dealing with these challenges [1].”
Human Capital and Sustainability (2011, background): “Stochastic projections of world population published by the IIASA show a 80–85% chance that the world population will peak and start to decline before the end of the 21st century [116].”
Estimation of the global prevalence of dementia in 2019 and forecasted prevalence in 2050: an analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (2022, neutral): “11,12 These changes, along with largely stable age-specific prevalence estimates and population growth, lead to large increases in the number of people affected by dementia.”
The human core of the shared socioeconomic pathways: Population scenarios by age, sex and level of education for all countries to 2100 (2017, background): “…of world population growth reaching a peak during the second half of the century is consistent with earlier world population projections by the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (Lutz et al., 2008b) as well as the United Nations projections up to 2010 (United Nations, 2009).”
An agent-based approach to model future residential pressure on a regional landscape (2009, background): “Nonetheless, other demographic projections anticipate a net increase in the proportion of elderly people in Western Europe ( Lutz et al. 2008 ).”
The Global Demography of Aging: Facts, Explanations, Future (2016, neutral): “In China and India, life expectancies have risen by nearly 30 years since 1950.”
