SEPT. 25, 2018 — The U.S. Census Bureau released the Trends in Health and Well-Being of the Older Populations in SAGE Countries: 2014-2015 report, which is based on data from the World Health Organization’s Study on global Aging and adult health (SAGE).  The report looks at the health and well-being of older populations in Ghana, Mexico and South Africa.

The report uses data from Wave 2, following an earlier Census Bureau report using Wave 1 of SAGE data and examines the trends and patterns of health and well-being of the older populations. It provides information on a selection of health outcomes and their impacts, including health status, noncommunicable diseases, risk factors, disability, and health insurance coverage.

Production of this report was supported by the Division of Behavioral and Social Research at the National Institute on Aging.
