In 2011, an estimated 340,200 (2%) of Canadians 40 years and over had Alzheimer's disease and other dementias and this number is expected to double in 20 years.Footnote 76 The rate at which new cases of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias are diagnosed is also expected to increase. Figure 2 Number of centenarians, Canada, 2001 to 2056 Footnote 15, Footnote 16, The proportion of the Canadian population who are seniors is increasing (see Figure 1).Footnote 15,Footnote 16 Canadians are living longer and life expectancy has increased dramatically for both men and women (see Appendix A).Footnote 17,Footnote 18 In 2013, the number of seniors rose to an all-time high of 5.4 million â 15.3% of the total population; by 2056 it is estimated that one quarter of the population (13 million) will be aged 65 years and older.Footnote 15,Footnote 16 In particular, people aged 85 years and over make up the fastest growing age group in Canadaâfrom 309,000 in 1993 to 702,000 in 2013 (an increase of 127%).Footnote 15 This age group is projected to grow to 2.9 million by 2056.Footnote 16 In 2013, the number of centenarians (those aged 100 years and over) was almost 7,000, nearly double the 2001 total.Footnote 15 This population is estimated to increase to 64,000 by 2056 (see Figure 2).Footnote 16, Canada is not alone in planning for an aging population.Footnote 19 Both developed and developing countries are experiencing an increase in the number of people aged 60 years and over.Footnote 20-22 The United Nations (UN) estimates the global population of people over 60 years old will increase from 765 million in 2010 to 2 billion by 2050 and the population aged over 80 years will reach nearly 400 million by then.Footnote 23 This shift has encouraged global planning for an aging population (see the textbox "Setting a global agenda for aging").Footnote 19, The global aging population was first considered an area of interest among academic and policy communities over three decades ago.Footnote 19,Footnote 21,Footnote 24 The UN Vienna International Plan of Action on Ageing was established at the first World Assembly on Ageing in 1982.Footnote 24 The Plan raised awareness about global longevity and offered broad guidelines and general principles to meet the challenge of progressively aging societies.Footnote 24 The language used in the document focused on dependence and protection of older people.Footnote 25, By 2002, the Second World Assembly on Ageing took a markedly different approach by focusing on and recognizing the potential of older people's contributions to societal development.Footnote 19,Footnote 25,Footnote 26 Focusing on three policy areas, the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing (MIPAA) called for changes in attitudes, policies and programs across the following domains: i) older people and development, ii) advancing health and well-being into old age, and iii) ensuring enabling and supportive environments.Footnote 26 The Plan also called for "mainstreaming aging," that is, integrating aging into existing processes and programs as well as including seniors in policy development, implementation and evaluation.Footnote 19,Footnote 26,Footnote 27, In 2012, member states were asked to evaluate their progress on implementing the MIPAA. TB is an infectious bacterium that is spread from person to person primarily through the air.Footnote 8, Footnote 9, Footnote 13 TB bacteria of the lungs or airways enter the air when a person with active TB disease exhales by coughing, sneezing, and even just talking.Footnote 8, Footnote 13 Once in the air, the bacteria can stay there for hours.Footnote 8, Footnote 13 Once an individual inhales them, the human body can react in one of three ways: Many factors influence the development and spread of TB.

Since 2001, population increase has mostly been as a result of immigration.Footnote 4,Footnote 5 In 2011, Canada's overall foreign-born population represented 20.6% of Canada's total population (with varying length of residency in Canada).Footnote 8 The majority of newcomers (those who immigrated in the past 5 years) migrated during their working years (median age is 31.7 years).Footnote 8 While numbers of immigrants are increasing, their fertility rate (birth of second-generation immigrants) is similar to the overall Canadian rate.Footnote 4 The global aging population may also influence Canadian migration patterns in the future. When giving these ratios, they are most commonly expressed by number of deaths per 1,000 people per year. The U.S. government has promised to cover testing and treatment costs for the uninsured.
