Mexico is a MIC, ranked as the second largest economy in Latin America [2], with an estimated population of 117.4 million [16]. Like other
emerging economies, it is facing up to the challenge of a rapidly ageing population. Currently, half of its resident population is 25 years or
younger. However, the proportion of adults aged ≥ 65 increased from 4% in 1990 to 6.9% in 2012, an absolute increase of approximately
4.5 million people [17]. The current population aged ≥ 65 is 7.7 million and is expected to increase to 16.2 million people (11.5% of the population)
by 2030, a projected 116% increase
