文摘The continuing growth in the number of adults aged 60-plus has raised global alertness of population restructuring.This demographic change,on the one hand,reduces productivity and increases public expenditure due to aging,resulting in prejudice,bias,misrepresentation,and discrimination against them.On the other hand,it develops a specific consumer market segment and extends the availability and accessibility of the elderly through employment,volunteering,or grandparenting.This study argues against the stigmatization of this age group from a functional perspective that damages social cohesion.It advocates a humanistic view toward seniors to eradicate marginalization and promotes the manageability of the senior population.With the aid of advanced technology and health equity,senior adults can retain everyday competence for self-care with dignity,as well as gracefully attain physical and psychological health,autonomy,and well-being in their later life.All these considerations give medical and nursing professionals insight into how to take care of the elderly.
