World demographics have changed and we will soon have more older people than children, and more people at extreme old age than ever before. Population aging is a powerful force which will impact and transform our national and global demographics.
Will our aging population have good health, sustained well-being, social engagement and productivity?
An aging population affects health care and social costs, so establishing an infrastructure for better health and wellbeing in older age is critical to us personally, and as a society. Understanding the changing relationship of healthy aging helps to sustain the powerful resource inherent in older populations.
