Abstract
Introduction: Population ageing is one of the most widely debated worldwide issues of the 21st. Countries with big
populations, such as India, have a significant population of persons aged 60 and over. In India, the population over the
age of 60 has quadrupled in the previous 50 years and will continue to rise in the near future. The population group
is plagued by physical and psychological issues Healthy Aging seeks to improve health care and quality of life for the
nation’s elderly (above 60+) population. The nation will be built by encouraging, educating, and empowering the current
and future generations.
Aim: In order to provide long-term, comprehensive programmes and committed care to an ageing population, this study
investigates the demographic profile of older people in India. This study aims to preserve and increase functional ability,
maintain or improve self-care, and stimulate one’s social network.
Conclusion: The study’s findings supported socioeconomic and demographic variations as causes of inequity in older
Indian persons’ ability to mature in a healthy way. It is discovered that in order to attain good ageing for everyone, social
capital, low frailty, better health behaviours, and food security are essential.
