Signal GWI cites 2030 boomer threshold and 70 percent long-term support estimate

Summary

The Inclusive Wellness Initiative uses three demographic figures to show how quickly aging is reshaping health priorities. By 2030 all members of the baby boom generation will have passed the age of 65. In many countries people over 80 form the demographic group growing faster than any other. The Initiative also states that close to 70% of older adults will need long-term support at some point in their lives. It uses these numbers to argue that a care model built around diagnosing, treating and discharging patients is becoming unsustainable. The figures frame its call for prevention, functional health and ways for people to age safely in their communities.
