The WHO on April 7 celebrated the starting of the company in 1948 and World Health Day, "by specializing in aging, including a number of activities, study and information with the theme, 'Good health adds life to years,'" CNN reports.
"Counter to typical perceptions, the WHO reports by 2050, 80 % of the world's older individuals will be residing in low-and middle-income nations, but not in the richer regions," and "a new research exhibits the key causes for ill health in aged people are caused by non-communicable diseases," VOA News writes.
"'I desire governments, civil society as well as the private sector to bring in attention and resources to making sure that people everywhere possess the chance to get older in health and fitness, Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said in a statement."
A week ago, WHO Director-General Margaret Chan "underscored the incidence of non-communicable illnesses in aged people require a change in focus from providing care for one disease to presenting good health when confronted with multiple diseases," in accordance with the U.N. News Centre.
