The number of elderly people is increasing rapidly because of decreasing mortality rates and increasing lifespans throughout the world. Policies and programs for elderly people are limited, and existing programs/policies are not implemented effectively towards the goal of healthier aging. Unlike other public health issues and actions, there is an urgent need to build an evidence-based comprehensive public health action policy for healthy aging.
由于全球死亡率下降和寿命延长，老年人数量正在迅速增加。针对老年人的政策和项目有限，而且现有项目/政策并未有效地朝着更健康老龄化的目标实施。与其他公共卫生问题和行动不同，迫切需要制定一项基于证据的全面公共卫生行动政策以实现健康老龄化。
