  • 10. Health and care-receiving profiles and unmet home care needs among community-dwelling Canadians aged 85 years and older
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202500500002
    Description: The population aged 85 and older is one of the fastest-growing age groups. Previous studies have identified several factors associated with unmet home care needs, including living arrangements, education, income, access to a regular medical doctor, chronic conditions, health status, and functional limitations. However, less is known about the extent to which unmet home care needs vary across the health and care-receiving profiles of the oldest-old Canadians. This study aims to enhance the understanding of the heterogeneity among the community-dwelling population aged 85 years and older in Canada.
