Population changes and the cost of health care for the elderly in Poland.
"The author...has attempted to measure the effects of population changes upon the costs of health care [in Poland] by applying a simulation model.  In this model the total cost of health care is a function of the per capita cost of health care by age, sex, and place of residence (urban, rural) and population structure.... The paper includes...the results concerning population 60 years of age and over."  Data are from several official health-related surveys carried out in 1989.
