Abstract
Rapid aging and longer lives pose many health and social care policy challenges to countries in Latin America, such as Mexico. By 2050, 21.5% of the Mexican population will be 60 years or older, up from 10% in 2015 (González, 2015). Data from the SAGE study conducted between 2007 and 2010 found that life expectancy at age 50 was 32 years for women and 29 for men (Chirinda & Chen, 2017). Of these years, women could expect to live ten years and men six years with a severe disability (Chirinda & Chen, 2017).
