Editor's Notes
- Aging brings about a number of physiological changes. It not only affects a person’s looks, but also becomes a cause of physical deterioration. The transition from middle to old age is a period of critical biological and social emotional fabric of the society and consequent changes in the living arrangements have created more problems for the aged to adjust with the changing conditions in living.
- Ask the audience about their definition / understanding of health
- WHO definition: Health is physical, mental, social and spiritual wellbeing of a person and not merely absence of a disease or infirmity.
- It is projected that the proportion of Indians aged 60 and older will rise from 7.5% in 2010 to 11.1% in 2025. This is a small percentage point increase, but a remarkable figure in absolute terms. The ageing of population is on the increase world over in recent times. Advancement in medicare, improvement in living conditions and the general quality of life and effective measures for birth control could be attributed to this emerging global phenomenon. A population is said to be ageing, in demographic terms, which the proportion of the older people increases and the proportion of youth and children decreases. India is passing through technological, social, cultural and demographic transition. Consequently increase in awareness of health care among the people took place, which led to the improvement in the quality of health care facility. Eventually the mortality rate has come down due to an increase in the life expectancy, which ultimately leads to the increase in elderly population. Along with the growing number of the aged, the traditional family support system is fast disappearing from the Indian society. The aged are one of the most vulnerable and high-risk groups in terms of health and socio-economic status in the society today.
