[Aging, health and family income].
The Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) has completed its second step, having interviewed some 25,000 Europeans aged 55 years and over about their income and health. SHARE is an interdisciplinary study that answers questions on the relation between family income and disease, which, like education level and disease, are correlated. Prevention can reduce future health expenditures, and SHARE can help in calculating the extent of such reduction.
