Abstract

Older women are more vulnerable to the change in the economic situation because of their social and health risks. In times of economic crisis, the health of elderly women are aff ected negatively due to, on the one hand, reduction in income or loss of income and, on the other hand, austerity measures. One of the negative eff ects is the increase in mortality rates or the slowdown in the decreasing mortality trend. Mental health problems and suicide risk also increase. Furthermore, unhealthy lifestyle behaviors can be observed; problems of treatment, control and management of chronic diseases occur. The care of older women is also aff ected. Despite increasing health needs, inequalities become apparent because of barriers to access to health care.
