Title: Senile Health Optimisation: A Global Challenge
The ‘Aged lot’ represents heterogenous human population with maximised proneness to disease and death. In the given backdrop of exponential growth of geriatric population world over, elderly wellbeing has become the foremost priority area of nations across the globe. Extended human longevity with inescapable disabilities has put the states on high alert to formulate innovative futuristic strategies for combating old age blues and, at the same time, raising the ‘Quality of Life’ and the ‘Satisfaction Level’ among the elders. Quite pertinently, ageing biologists have recommended increasing the health span rather than the life span for securing late life with minimal disease burden.
WHO definition of health elaborates physical, mental, and social wellbeing of an individual and it is categorically stated that merely the absence of disease and infirmity is not necessarily the sole criterion of good health. Recent advances in ageing studies have identified several age triggers, in every likelihood, responsible for accelerating loss of functions and subsequent disastrous pathophysiologic perturbations.
It is in this perspective that the present paper has been contemplated considering the available data and interactions with potential subjects from elderly cohorts faced with age-induced trauma of variable intensities. More precisely, it attempts to suggest prospective measures to meet the global challenge of achieving optimized health for the senile age group with highest morbidity and mortality.
