For a low-middle income country, which is witnessing a rise in non-communicable diseases whilst struggling to assure basic healthcare, the status of India’s elderly is a challenge in terms of ensuring social and financial protection, providing health services, especially for the management of chronic lifelong conditions.
2. The elderly form 8% of India’s population. This translates to over a 100
million people above the age of 60 years. By 2050 the numbers of elderly
are expected to increase to over 300 million people.
For a low-middle income country, which is witnessing a rise in non-
communicable diseases whilst struggling to assure basic healthcare, the
status of India’s elderly is a challenge in terms of ensuring social and
financial protection, providing health services, especially for the
management of chronic lifelong conditions.
3. Approximately 66% of elderly are fully dependent on others; 32% do not
own any assets of their own.
In a largely patriarchal society, dependence, especially physical and
financial dependence on family members may impact health seeking
behavior negatively, resulting in delay or denial in seeking care, as well as
physical or emotional abuse of the dependent elderly member.
4. In a country where there is supposed to be a long tradition of respecting
the elders (Matha Pitha Guru Deivam –an ancient Sanskrit hymn
comparing parents and teachers to God), it is a pity that health services
and social security systems for the elderly are failing badly
Families and individuals need support and resources to offer the best
possible health and nutritional care to their elderly, if not the bare
minimum.
