Longevity: What Does Healthy Ageing Mean?

Healthy ageing includes everyday function and being able to continue the activities you value over the years.

Longevity means long life. In healthy-ageing care, we also look at how you can continue taking part in daily life as the years pass.

WHO describes healthy ageing in terms of developing and maintaining the functional ability that supports wellbeing in older age. Moving around, making decisions, maintaining relationships and contributing to society are parts of that framework.

Where can we begin?

Think about the activities you value: which feel comfortable, and which have become difficult? Bring those examples to a consultation to discuss your personal goals.
