Our Director Professor Jane Falkingham CBE was a guest on #BBC Talking #Business discussing the challenges of an #ageing #population (from 05:05).

The global #lifeexpectancy has doubled in just over 100 years. That's a great achievement and unlocks opportunities for a growing #generation of #consumers and #workers, many of them #grandparents and great-grandparents. But it comes with challenges... How to pay for the #health and #welfare needs of this ageing population?

Using superannuation to pay for nursing home care could be an option for future generations but don't most of the current retirees have houses they bought for a song in the '70s or '80s that they can sell to fund their nursing care?

You work for decades to improve your #job, maybe climbing the ladder or just being absolutely brilliant at what you do. You get older & #work_and_pension #MelStride suggests you start again at the very bottom of the ladder. Furthermore, if the over 50s take this work where are the younger people supposed to start? What do #students who need #food #money do, what do school leavers do whilst trying to find their feet?

A very important read. Suicidal ideation is a symptom of many physical conditions that are very treatable.

Warding off dementia

Research shows that maintaining social connections as well as keeping mentally and physically active are important steps to delaying or avoiding age-related deterioration. #ageing

The picture quality of that last clip is awful - I’m having a bad eyesight day today. I mean I always knew that with age it would decline over time but nobody told me that some days you can wake up and it’s just shitty and the day after it’s not so shitty again. I think I need new glasses.

Why our need to learn peaks again in retirement

Finding ways to help older people ‘grow’ and remain productive and engaged over their increasingly longer lives will help us shift from an ageing society to an age-diverse society combining the speed, strength and zest common in younger people with the emotional intelligence and wisdom prevalent in older people: creating possibilities in society that have never existed before. #ageing

Lazarus Long here we come!

In a pioneering study, researchers from Harvard Medical School, University of Maine, and MIT have introduced a chemical method for reversing cellular aging. This revolutionary approach offers a potential alternative to gene therapy for age reversal. The findings could transform treatments for age-related diseases, enhance regenerative medicine, and potentially lead to whole-body rejuvenation.
