Sonora is a state with a population of 232,874 older adults, which represents 8.7% of the total population. 7.7% of the population of the municipality of Hermosillo are older people. Life expectancy for men is 72 years while for women it is 78 years, 94% of older people have some type of motor disability and 27% are retired or pensioned.
Due to the increase in older people in the municipality of Hermosillo (Uniradio Noticias, 2017), better public policies are being implemented that contribute to a better quality of life. It is estimated that by 2050, 25% of the population of this city will be 60 years old or older; this change is due to the fact that the birth rate is declining while life expectancy continues to increase.
In Sonora there are 110,000 older adults who are registered with the INAPAM card, which gives them discounts at pharmacies and supermarkets.
