The Aging Of The World’s Population
People aged 65 and over are currently referred to as the
elderly population. Decreasing fertility and increasing life expectancy have
led to population aging across the whole countries. It is predicted that the
elderly population will approximately double by 2050. Old people tend to
experience different conditions and diseases concurrently. The coming decade
has been named “the Decade of Healthy Aging” and the World Health Organization
determined actions for this purpose. This chapter provides a comprehensive
overview of global population aging and its implications.
