What is the Decade of Healthy Aging?

The Decade of Healthy Aging envisions a world in which all people can live long and healthy lives, where they can do the things they value for as long as possible – that is, maintaining their functional ability. Functional ability is determined by a person’s environment and their intrinsic capacity which is composed of individual mental and physical factors. The Decade of Healthy Aging means 10 years of collaborative action with different stakeholders and sectors to foster healthy aging and improve the well-being of older people, focusing efforts so older adults can: have basic needs met; learn, grow and make decisions; get around safely; build and maintain relationships; and contribute to families, communities and societies.
