Abstract ABSTRACT
Background : Population aging is becoming a major global public health challenge. According to the World Health Organization, the number of people aged 60 years and above is increasing rapidly worldwide due to improved healthcare, better nutrition, and increased life expectancy.
Major Global Aging Problems
Chronic Diseases-Elderly people commonly suffer from hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, and dementia.
Physical Decline-Aging leads to reduced muscle strength, weak immunity, impaired vision and hearing, and decreased mobility.
Mental Health Issues-Depression, anxiety, loneliness, memory loss, and cognitive decline are common among older adults.
Economic Burden-Increased healthcare expenses, dependency on caregivers, and reduced workforce participation create economic pressure on families and governments.
Social Problems-Social isolation, neglect, lack of family support, and elder abuse are increasing concerns globally.
Healthcare Challenges-Many countries face shortages of geriatric healthcare services, long-term care facilities, and trained professionals for elderly care.
Aging is a universal and inevitable biological, physiological process associated with progressive decline in physical, Mental and social functions. Globally, the geriatric population is rapidly increasing, leading to a higher burden of chronic diseases, psychological distress and dependency. In India, this demographic transition is further compounded by changing family structures and reduced traditional caregiving support, highlighting the urgent need for holistic and preventive geriatric care.
Aim ( To Evaluate geriatric health and design modules): The present study aimed to evaluate the multidimensional health status of the elderly and to design practical Ayurvedic modules for the maintenance and promotion of healthy aging.
Methods (Survey study and literature review): A large-scale cross-sectional survey was conducted on 1000 elderly individuals using a validated questionnaire assessing physical, emotional, psychological, and lifestyle factors. In addition, a comprehensive literature review of classical Ayurvedic texts and contemporary research was undertaken to establish theoretical correlations.
Key findings: The study revealed a high prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders, cardiovascular diseases, sleep disturbances, anxiety, and cognitive decline. Adherence to Ayurvedic principles such as Dinacharya and Ritucharya was found to be inadequate. These findings reflect Vata predominance, Dhatu kshaya and lifestyle imbalance in old age.
Conclusion (Ayurveda role in healthy aging): Ayurveda offers a comprehensive framework for healthy aging through individualized diet, lifestyle, Rasayana therapy, and mental well-being practices. The developed modules provide practical, culturally adaptable strategies for improving geriatric quality of life and can serve as a foundation for integrative geriatric healthcare.
Keywords Keywords: Ageing (Jarā), Geriatric Health, Ayurveda, Dinacharya, Ritucharya, Rasayana Therapy.
