“…Na realidade, esse cenário não está muito claro. Embora a idade avançada seja geralmente associada a aumento nas necessidades relacionadas à saúde, a associação com a utilização de cuidados de saúde e das despesas é variável (14)(15)(16)(17). De fato, em alguns países de alta renda, as despesas de saúde por pessoa caem significativamente após aproximadamente 75 anos de idade (enquanto as despesas com cuidados de longo prazo aumentam) (18)(19)(20).…”

| Background: Disability retirement, an outcome of permanent incapacity for work, represents 14.5% of pensions granted by the Brazilian National Social Security Institute. However, there are no data available for civil servants. Objective: To describe the epidemiological profile of disability retirement among employees of Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (FIOCRUZ) in the period from 2012 to 2016. Methods: Cross-sectional study in which we analyzed the following variables: age, sex, total working time, years of work at FIOCRUZ, position and reason for retirement as per ICD-10 codes. The significance level was set to p=0.05 and all the data are presented with 95% confidence interval. Results: The prevalence of disability retirement in the analyzed period was 113/10,000 employees. Employees granted disability retirement benefits worked about 9 years less. Odds for disability were higher for technicians (prevalence ratio-PR=6.83) and technical assistants (PR=7.67). Mental and behavioral disorders were the main reason for disability retirement (38.71%). Conclusion: Noncommunicable diseases are the main cause of disability retirement. We call the attention to the need to revise the legislation that establishes mandatory retirement after 24 months of sick leave. An interdisciplinary occupational health surveillance approach is necessary to obtain accurate knowledge of the actual situation in workplaces and of the impacts of work processes.

“…Unabhängig von anderen Merkmalen des sozioökonomischen Status geht ein geringeres Bildungsniveau mit einem höheren Risiko für chronische Erkrankungen und Beeinträchtigungen, für damit verbundene körperliche und psychische Belastungen sowie für aus diesen Belastungen resultierende Verringerungen der Teilhabechancen einher [14]. Die für die sozialmedizinische Forschung bedeutsame Humankapitalhypothese [15] Die Tatsache, dass Bildungsunterschiede besonders großen Einfluss auf gesundheitliche Ressourcen und Risikofaktoren ausüben, weist darauf hin, wie wichtig das Thema "Gesundheit und Gesundheitsverhalten" in allen Bildungsbereichen ist -von der schulischen Bildung bis hin zur beruflichen Bildung, der beruflichen Fort-und Weiterbildung und der allgemeinen Erwachsenenbildung [16,17]. So spielen zum Beispiel die in der beruflichen Fort-und Weiterbildung gewonnenen Informationen zu salutogenetischen und pathogenetischen Einflüssen des eigenen Gesundheitsverhaltens sowie auch die mit dem veränderten Gesundheitsverhalten einhergehenden Erfahrungen der Gestaltbarkeit von Gesundheit eine große Rolle bei der Ausbildung und Aufrechterhaltung gesundheitsförderlichen Verhaltens; dies nicht zuletzt auch durch die Differenzierung von Altersbildern [18].…”

“…Although the health economics of greater longevity is complex (e.g. Cook 2011;Terraneo 2015), the World Health Organization (2015) recommends that nations prepare for this shift in demographics. The greater proportion of people living longer in retirement results in a greater economic burden on those still working, to fund social securities for the population as a whole.…”

Advances in medicine and healthcare and better education about healthy living have led to a greater proportion of people living healthily into older age. As the global population ages, it will become necessary to address the societal implications of this demographic change. Successful treatment of physical illnesses means that people are more likely to experience cognitive decline, either naturally through the ageing process or through the onset of dementia and related disorders. This will shift the healthcare burden from physical to cognitive care. In addition, healthy, active people are likely to remain in work, meaning that cognitive performance in the healthy elderly will require monitoring and support. This review will consider the possible role of brain stimulation technology in preserving or enhancing cognitive health in the healthy ageing population, and will discuss the current state of scientific research and the gaps in our knowledge around stimulating the brain of the older person.
