Definition

  • The global increase in longevity over the past 50 years has been attributed partly to an improvement in nutrition in both childhood and later life. A century ago, 1 in 20 people worldwide was more than 65 years of age, whereas today it is 1 in 6, and by 2051 it is expected to be 1 in 4.
