According to the relevant regulations issued by the World Health Organization, people under the age of 44 are called young people, and those between the ages of 45 and 59 are middle-aged. Between the ages of 60 and 74 are young people and old people; 75 to 89 years old for the elderly; People over 90 years old are called long-lived old people.
This standard is the latest regulation issued by the World Health Organization. From this regulation, we can find that the age definition of the elderly is extended by 10 years. Demographers say that this phenomenon will have a positive impact on people's mental health and anti-aging will.
It can be seen from this regulation that after the age of 60, even if you formally enter the ranks of the elderly, the life expectancy is already very high, so many people say that this limit is unacceptable. Like this group of people, they belong to a group that refuses to accept the old.
The influence of delaying the age limit for the elderly;
Everything has advantages and disadvantages, and so does the age limit for the elderly. The advantage of the late adjustment of the age limit is that, as demographers say, it can make people's anti-aging will and mental health develop positively.
Then there are necessary adjustments to deal with the aging problem. According to the relevant data of the national census, 1982, the total number of elderly people over 65 years old in China accounts for about 5% of the total population. Since then, the number of elderly people has increased every year.
By 2020, the number of elderly people over 65 in China will reach190.64 million, accounting for 13.5% of the total population. According to the census data of 202 1, the proportion of the elderly population in China has risen again. From this perspective, China is moving towards an aging society.
