%T Health Among the Elderly in Germany: New Evidence on Disease, Disability and Care Need %E Doblhammer, Gabriele %P 214 %V 46 %D 2015 %I Verlag Barbara Budrich %@ 978-3-8474-0288-6 %~ Verlag Barbara Budrich %> https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:0168-ssoar-58600-7 %X Whether increasing life expectancy leads to better health remains still controversial. Three topics are explored: (1) vanguard groups which inform about possible levels of health if the general social and environmental conditions were to approach those of the vanguard group; (2) the social and behavioral determinants of health differentiated into proximal and distal factors; (3) vulnerable groups such as migrants and the health differences between migrant groups. Newly available population-based data as well as new study designs and advanced statistical modelling form the basis for the empirical analyses. %C DEU %C Opladen %G en %9 Sammelwerk %W GESIS - http://www.gesis.org %~ SSOAR - http://www.ssoar.info
