Healthy ageing is a holistic journey requiring sustained efforts to preserve both physical and psychosocial well-being in old age. Thanks to remarkable advancements in medical science, people around the world are enjoying longer lifespans. This website is dedicated to supporting this mission by offering valuable information on nutrition, physical activity, and cognitive and social wellness, aiding individuals in achieving a healthier, more vibrant ageing experience.
Background: World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations General Assembly have launched the Decade of Healthy Ageing (2021-2030). This global initiative promotes the maintenance and improvement of physical and mental health, independence, and overall quality of life throughout the ageing process.
The Decade of Healthy Ageing (2021-2030) aims to:
1. Transform societal attitudes and behaviors towards older adults.
2. Empower older individuals by supporting their capabilities.
3. Provide comprehensive, integrated primary health care for the elderly.
4. Ensure the availability of long-term care facilities for senior citizens.
Achieving these goals requires all of us to contribute to the mission of promoting healthy and happy ageing!
Let's begin this journey together!
