Abstract
Members of the ILC Global Alliance will lead a workshop on how different countries can better adapt to long lives.
Investing in people’s health is vital for everyone’s wellbeing and to ensure that we can truly benefit from the “longevity dividend” that could result from an ageing population. Yet we know that across the globe, action and investment in healthy ageing and preventative health continues to lag.
This is where the ILC-UK Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index comes in.
It ranks 153 countries against six indicators: life span, health span, work span, income, environmental performance, and happiness. This allows us to compare how sustainable different countries are, both in terms of longer lives and the extent to which their governments are investing in efforts to prevent ill health and support healthy ageing. With two published sets of data, now we can also track progress over time to ensure we are having meaningful conversations about what must happen to keep people well for longer.
We know prevention is better than cure. We know what works. Now we need to see action.
Through this interactive ILC Global Alliance workshop, participants will all have the opportunity to talk about how their country could perform better on the index.
Bio(s):
Lorem Ipsum es simplemente el texto de relleno de las imprentas y archivos de texto. Lorem Ipsum ha sido el texto de relleno estándar de las industrias desde el año 1500, cuando un impresor (N. del T. persona que se dedica a la imprenta) desconocido usó una galería de textos y los mezcló de tal manera que logró hacer un libro de textos especimen. No sólo sobrevivió 500 años, sino que tambien ingresó como texto de relleno en documentos electrónicos, quedando esencialmente igual al original. Fue popularizado en los 60s con la creación de las hojas “Letraset”, las cuales contenian pasajes de Lorem Ipsum, y más recientemente con software de autoedición, como por ejemplo Aldus PageMaker, el cual incluye versiones de Lorem Ipsum.
