La Altagracia registers a lower number of senior citizens

The province of La Altagracia, Dominican Republic, currently reports the lowest proportion of older adults in the country. Data indicates that approximately 37,469 residents are aged 60 or older, a demographic that remains less visible amidst the region's rapid development.

This demographic trend is occurring alongside significant regional growth driven by the tourism sector, urban expansion, and an influx of workers migrating from other parts of the country. Consequently, there is an identified need for increased medical attention and support services tailored to this aging population segment.
