The elderly are the fastest growing age group in developed countries. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 2 billion people will be over the age of 60 by 2050.
Regardless of how much life expectancy is extended, the last chapter is often dismal. At the age of 80, one person out of five will be harrowed with some kind of dementia, one in remaining four will suffer from vision loss and four out of five will develop hearing issues. Of the folks who make it to 90, a majority will have minimum one health issue, many will have more than one.
