Preventive measures and care for geriatric population

India's population has undergone a notable transition in recent years, from high birth and death rates to lower rates. This demographic shift, coupled with increased longevity, has resulted in a significant rise in both the absolute number and proportion of elderly individuals. This demographic trend is projected to continue unabated in the coming decades, often overlooked but with substantial implications. The rapid and significant growth of the elderly population poses a considerable burden across various sectors including healthcare, social services, and the economy. It is imperative to acknowledge and address the challenges faced by this expanding demographic group. Proactive measures and interventions are essential to mitigate the potential strain on resources and the broader societal framework. By raising awareness about the issues affecting older adults and implementing preventive measures, India can better prepare to support its aging population.
