Feminization of Ageing - Are we Prepared for Future
Journal Title: Epidemiology International - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
The process of aging is natural. Ageing brings a reduction in physical, mental and social abilities in an individual’s participation in the society due to various reasons like physiological degeneration of tissues and organs, fatigability, economic dependence and social limitations. The problems of ageing are not homogenous at all places but they vary with country profile, gender, residence, socio-economic status, health, social security mechanism and prevalent sociocultural norms etc. Living longer also means longer life in a state of declining health and disability.
