Active Ageing: Live longer and prosper

However, reducing the number of premature deaths and opening the way to active ageing (defined as continuing to live independently as an engaged member of society) is better seen as a success to be celebrated, not a problem to be contained. Loss of a productive social role because of disabling diseases or cognitive decline is not an inevitable consequence of reaching 65, 75 or 80 years of age. As people live longer there are also increasing opportunities for compressing their experience of seriously disabling illness into reduced periods. Even when the challenges of disability have to be faced, there is much that could and should affordably be done to help ensure that life continues to be valued and free from social handicap.
