Extension of life expectancy and contribution to the increase of death of genetic origin
In: Stanovništvo: Population = Naselenie, Volume 38, Issue 1-4, p. 29-40
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the consequences of the human
ageing on the frequency of genetic diseases. Taking the exemple of the
Huntington disease, we try to evaluate the expected increase in the number
of persons affected in France, until the year 2020, based on demographic
data and population projections. Because of the frequency of the gene
responsible of this particular pathology, the number of cases is expected to
raise according to increase in health expectancy and the future growth of
aged population. Population ageing seems responsible of the appearance of
endogenous diseases which are often provoking invalidity.
