Number of older adults aged 65 years and over is projected to double to 1.5 billion by 2050 as a result of advancement in medical, public health, social and economic development leading to improvement in survival. The top three countries in Asia with the largest percentage point increase will be Republic of Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan Province of China. While lifespan continues to increase, healthspan has been slow to improve. The World Report on Ageing and Health by World Health Organisation (WHO) defines healthy ageing as the process of developing and maintaining functional ability that enables wellbeing. Frailty and dementia, both linked with ageing and highly prevalent in chronic kidney disease are a major cause of disability and associated with poor quality of life both for the older adult and caregiver. Maintaining functional and cognitive ability, and ageing in place must be every country’s priority. Singapore has many programs in place to promote healthy ageing including lifelong learning, proactive outreach, preventive health and active ageing programs for older adults in the neighbourhood such as The Healthy Ageing Promotion Program for You (HAPPY) program and frailty screening with targeted interventions in the Primary Care.
