The key considerations for healthy aging are diversity and inequity. Diversity means that there is no typical older person. Policy should be framed to improve the functional ability of all older people, whether they are robust, care dependent or in between.
The aim of this article is to describe negative influence of Corona pandemic (COVID-19) for realization of the WHO project about Healthy Aging global strategy proposed in the targets "Health for all".
Authors used descriptive model for this cross-sectional study based on facts in analyzed scientific literature deposited in on-line databases about healthy aging concept of the prevention and treatment of the people who will come or already came to the "third trimester of the life".
Some 80-year-olds have levels of physical and mental capacity that compare favorably with 30-year-olds. Others of the same age may require extensive care and support for basic activities like dressing and eating. Policy should be framed to improve the functional ability of all older people, whether they are robust, care dependent or in between. Inequity reflects a large proportion (approximately 75%) of the diversity in capacity and circumstance observed in older age is the result of the cumulative impact of advantage and disadvantage across people's lives. Importantly, the relationships we have with our environments are shaped by factors such as the family we were born into, our sex, ethnicity, level of education and financial resources.
COVID-19 pandemic "celebrated" one year of existing in almost all countries in the world with very difficult consequences for whole population. But in the first risk group are old people who have in average 6 to 7 co-morbidities. WHO recommended some measures to improve prevention and treatment this category of population, but COVID-19 pandemic stopped full realization of Decade of Healthy Aging project.
健康老龄化的关键考虑因素是多样性和不平等。多样性意味着没有典型的老年人。政策的制定应该着眼于提高所有老年人的功能能力，无论他们是健壮的、依赖护理的还是处于两者之间。
本文旨在描述新冠疫情（COVID-19）对实现世界卫生组织（WHO）关于健康老龄化全球战略项目的负面影响，该项目是“人人享有健康”目标下提出的。
作者使用描述性模型进行了这项横断面研究，该模型基于分析的科学文献中的事实，这些文献存储在关于预防和治疗即将或已经进入“生命第三阶段”的人的健康老龄化概念的在线数据库中。
一些 80 岁的老年人的身体和认知能力水平与 30 岁的人相当。而其他同龄的人可能需要大量的护理和支持才能进行穿衣和进食等基本活动。政策的制定应该着眼于提高所有老年人的功能能力，无论他们是健壮的、依赖护理的还是处于两者之间。不平等反映了老年人能力和环境差异的很大一部分（约 75%）是人们一生中优势和劣势累积影响的结果。重要的是，我们与环境的关系受到我们出生的家庭、性别、种族、教育水平和财务资源等因素的影响。
新冠疫情在全球几乎所有国家存在了一年，给全人类带来了非常艰难的后果。但在高危人群中，老年人平均有 6 到 7 种合并症。世界卫生组织建议采取一些措施来改善这一类人群的预防和治疗，但新冠疫情阻止了健康老龄化十年项目的全面实施。
