Introduction
The interactions between social and community factors and health status are extraordinarily complex (Figure 4.1), especially for older adults. It is important for the healthcare professional to be aware of the impact these factors have on the health and well‐being of the older person. This chapter will provide a brief overview of the demography of ageing and then focus on how societal structures and constructs influence older adults' experiences. Challenges of ageing will be examined at a societal level, with a discussion of how providers, healthcare systems, and governments can address these challenges to optimize older adults' well‐being.
Demography of ageing
Ageing population
Globally, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the population over age 60 will approximately double from 2015 to 2050, and 20% of the population will be over the age of 60.1 The majority of these older adults will reside in low‐to‐middle income countries, providing global challenges to ensure older adults receive adequate access to healthcare
