  1. Ageing and health in Mongolia

  2. The speed of population ageing is increasing. 235 million people aged 60 years and above account for over 13% of total population in the Western Pacific Region.

  3. Population ageing in Mongolia Population by age and sex, 2010 and 2030 • The population of Mongolia will increase by 27.9% over the next two decades, reaching 3.52 million by 2030. • The proportion of the population aged 60 years and above is projected to exceed that of the population aged 0–14 years in 2056. • The proportion of persons aged 60 years and above will increase from 5.9% of the population in 2010 to 12.0% in 2030.

  4. Life expectancy in Mongolia • Life expectancy at birth and at age 60 will increase for both women and men between 2010 and 2030. • The life expectancy gap between sexes will decrease from 7.8 years in 2010 to 7.5 in 2030. For people who survive to age 60 in 2010, women can expect to live to another 19.6 years and men another 16.2 years. • Women live longer than men but spend proportionally fewer years in good health.

  5. Ageing and health in Mongolia Burden of disease estimates and projections (DALYs) for 60 years and above in Western Pacific Region, by major disease group and sex, 2005, 2015, 2030 • The burden of disease in Mongolia in the older age group (60 years and above) is expected to increase between 2005 and 2030. • The projections for DALYs (60 years and above) in 2005, 2015 and 2030 show that NCDs will continue to increase and hold the leading position for the burden of disease in the Region.

  6. Policy and practice recommendations • Constructive, proactive measures are needed to implement and monitor ageing strategies and policies like those included in the State Policy of Mongolia on Population Development. • Support for collaborative and multi-disciplinary research is indicated. • Improved translation of health research results is crucial to inform and shape current and future policy. • Coordinated interventions are needed to address health and well-being in the National Program on ageing and the health of older persons.
