Zusammenfassung
Verbesserte Lebensbedingungen und Hygiene sowie Fortschritte in der Prävention und Behandlung von Krankheiten haben die Lebenserwartung der Menschen deutlich steigen lassen. Akute Erkrankungen sind nicht länger Haupttodesursache, vielmehr sterben die Menschen heute an chronischen Erkrankungen, degenerativen Erkrankungen und Tumoren. Hiermit ist eine verlängerte Immobilität und Pflegebedürftigkeit verbunden, die die letzten Lebensjahre für viele Menschen oft beschwerlich macht und ihre Betreuung zu einem erheblichen Kostenfaktor werden lässt.
