The oldest-old or fourth agers: are they the same or different populations?

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In my contribution, I will discuss the issue of the oldest population; specifically, I will focus on the issue of the recognition of older peoples’ care needs, preferences and spending of everyday life. In the case of the Czech Republic, there is very little information on the oldest-old or the specific population in need. Generally speaking, the oldest-old population is a population seriously underrepresented in research, being one which is often neglected in surveys and qualitative research. The interviewing of people of advanced age brings specific problems and interviewing by proxy is often used. Nevertheless, an improved understanding of the needs and preferences of this population is a precondition for improving both the provision of care and its quality of life. Unhelpfully, such populations are surrounded by various myths and stereotypes. According to Czech statistics, only 16 % of older people are the oldest-old (i.e. 80+), which is a little more than 400 000 people.
