Longevity: What Does Healthy Ageing Mean?
Function, everyday activities and the things you want to continue doing as the years pass.
Longevity means long life. Healthy ageing also concerns how we remain involved in life as the years pass.
Health in everyday life
WHO describes healthy ageing in terms of developing and maintaining the functional ability that supports wellbeing in older age. Moving around, making decisions, maintaining relationships and contributing to society are parts of that framework.
Where can we begin?
Think about the activities you value. Which are comfortable, and which have become difficult? These questions can begin a discussion of personal goals during a medical consultation.
