[Morbidity and health care costs of the elderly].
Pure demographic prognoses cannot adequately foresee the future trends in (multi-)morbidity and costs of illness of the elderly. One has to take into account the current structure and distribution of morbidity in ambulatory and clinical care as well as the scientific hypotheses on different types of morbidity of the elderly which may be responsible for specific patterns of use of the health services and for the action taken by the health care system.
