Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Gerontology
  • Sociology

Background:

  • The global population is rapidly ageing, presenting significant challenges, especially for developing countries.
  • The World Health Organization (WHO) developed a Policy Framework on Active Ageing to address this demographic shift.
  • This framework aims to guide discussions and action plans for promoting healthy and active lives among older adults.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To reflect the WHO Policy Framework on Active Ageing.
  • To present the challenges posed by a rapidly ageing global population.
  • To discuss the concept and rationale behind active ageing.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of WHO's Active Ageing Policy Framework.
  • Analysis of demographic trends in global population ageing.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Conceptual discussion of active ageing principles.

    • Main Results:

    • Identified rapid population ageing as a critical global challenge.
    • Elucidated the concept and justification for active ageing.
    • Highlighted the importance of policy development for supporting older adults.

    Conclusions:

    • Active ageing is crucial for addressing the challenges of an increasingly older population.
    • Policy responses are essential for fostering healthy and active ageing worldwide.
    • The WHO Policy Framework provides a foundation for developing effective action plans.
