          Abstract

          Resumen En este artículo se estiman modelos no paramétricos del comportamiento económico y del gasto en salud de las familias con personas adultas mayores en México. Con información de la Encuesta Nacional de Ingresos y Gastos de los Hogares de 2016, se describen los patrones de consumo de los hogares a lo largo de la edad del jefe de familia como una representación del curso de vida familiar. Los resultados muestran que la presencia de población adulta mayor en los hogares se vincula con un incremento de alrededor de 50% del gasto en salud y un respectivo financiamiento por medio del aumento de los flujos de ahorro monetario a lo largo del ciclo de vida. Asimismo, se aporta evidencia de la importancia de la seguridad social en la reducción de la volatilidad del gasto en salud en las fases avanzadas del curso de vida.

          Translated abstract

          Abstract This article estimates non-parametric models for the economic and health expenditure behavior of families with older adults in Mexico. Using information from the 2016 Household Income and Expenditure Survey, household consumption patterns are described in conjunction with the age of the head of household as a representation of the family life course. The results show that the presence of the older adult population in households is linked to an approximately 50% increase in health spending and the corresponding financing through the increase in monetary savings flows throughout the life cycle. Evidence is also provided of the importance of social security in reducing the volatility of health spending during the advanced stages of the life course.
