In this study, the relationship between population and economic indicators which effect old age dependency rate and the estimated life expectancy at birth for both genders was calculated by using the Spearman correlation coefficient following the expansion of the data according to the population. Life expectancy at birth and old age dependency rate which are used as old age indicator in Turkish Republics showed positive correlation by crude death rate, population density, per capita gross domestic product, per capita health expenditure while there was negative correlation by annual population growth, rural living rate, umemployment percentage of total labor force (p<0,001). Turkic Republics show different characteristics in terms of development stages of population aging.
