98-H. International Perspectives: Ageing Stages Aligning Healthspan and Lifespan

Imagine a future in which health span—the years an individual spends free of significant disease or disability—aligns more closely with a person's lifespan. During this session, presenters from Australia and the United States will unveil new, previously undefined stages of ageing and explore how an understanding of these stages could guide you in implementing innovative care solutions and forward-thinking policies that address the biological, social, and psychological changes that older people experience. You'll gain a new perspective on aging that will help you challenge traditional care models and create new opportunities for your organization and the people it serves.
