This also means that more elders over the age of 65 will need care every year. However, the current medical system and families are difficult to cope with. The upcoming challenge is how to enable the elders to maintain good physical and cognitive abilities in their old age, which will effectively help them avoid falling or needing care by someone around them, and can also significantly reduce social costs.
