Health Talk: What is a ‘healthy older adult’? #CGTN

In this episode of Health Talk, Professor Wang Hongman, director of the Institute of Health and Society at Southeast University of China, offers an in-depth look at the underlying meaning of healthy aging. She explains why being “disease-free” is not the only measure of health, and how maintaining daily functions and social participation provides new insights into what it means to be a healthy older adult. As the world faces rapid population aging, let’s take a moment to rethink what aging means and how we can build an enriched senior life – for ourselves, our families and our future.
