Professor Wu pointed out in the report: "It can be seen that the word healthy aging is similar to the traditional word' healthy longevity' in China, but it has a deeper meaning and richer content." He further pointed out: "To fully and scientifically understand' healthy aging', we must clarify six key points." These six points are:
First of all, the goal of healthy aging is that most people in the elderly population live a long and healthy life, which is reflected in the improvement of healthy life expectancy.
Second, healthy aging is not only reflected in the length of life, but more importantly, the improvement of life quality. The quality of healthy life of the elderly population is objective and quantifiable.
Thirdly, the change of human age structure to aging requires a corresponding "healthy transition" on the one hand; On the other hand, it is required to extend the concept of health to social, economic and cultural aspects.
Fourthly, population aging is a process, and we should understand the cause and effect, context and development trend of the health status of the elderly population from the process of individual and group aging; The health of the elderly group is considered to be the most comprehensive, concentrated and final expression of all the factors restricting health before infants, adolescents and adults enter old age. A historical and comprehensive understanding of the health status of the elderly is related to the well-being of all people.
Fifth, healthy aging is a strategic goal and countermeasure put forward by human beings in the face of the challenge of population aging, which is based on scientific understanding.
Sixth, healthy aging is a social system project of national health care, which is related to the population of all ages and all walks of life. It needs the long-term unremitting efforts of the whole party and the people of the whole country to gradually realize it.
