Old age is not synonymous with ill health. Each human life has victory, happiness, and joyful events, but unfortunately failures, troubles, distress, and sorrows, these are all parts of the life events; therefore aging is also a part in life which we cannot change. The concept of ageing is more than a series of biological changes. The elderly are a precious asset for any country with rich experience and wisdom; they contribute their might for sustenance and progress of the nation1. It is generally accepted to call an individual over the age of 65 years as an elderly. The elderly age group can be divided into younger elderly people between 65-74 years of age, middle elderly people between 75-84 years of age and old elderly people over the age of 85 years2. October 1st is celebrated as the International Day for the Elderly people each year, which was first established on 14th of December in the year 1990 by the United Nations General Assembly. It was celebrated for the first time on October 1st in the year 1991 to make the people aware about issues which affects the elders3. The burden of chronic disease in India is high, with high rates of morbidity and mortality, especially in the elderly, since the prevalence of chronic disease rises with age. It is known that chronic disease is preventable, with 80% of premature heart disease, stroke and diabetes being amenable to prevention .With early detection, treatment and support, the burden of chronic disease can be reduced.4 Chronic diseases and increased mortality are often cited as the hallmark of old age. There is a long-standing belief that aging and diseases are inseparable. However, studies have revealed that aging is inevitable, but diseases are not. Nevertheless, a correlation has been observed between age and chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, arthritis, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Older people are often referred to as ‘seniors’ or ‘elderly’ in an attempt to soften the impact of the prejudice that exists towards them. Although growing old is an integral part of the human life span, old people are often discriminated against, often by their own family. This could be because they are physically weak and need looking after. These changes, whether physical or mental, may become a burden on the family. As an extreme manifestation, this discrimination against the elderly can lead to neglect and isolation and it is not uncommon for them to be totally abandoned5. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports NCD to be by far leading cause of death in the world, representing over 60% of old deaths, out of the 36 million people who died from NCDs in 2005 half were under age 70 and half were women. Of the 57 million global deaths in 2008, 36 million were such incidence. Then is approximately 63% of total death worldwide risk factors such as person’s background, life style and environment are known to increases the likely hood of certain NCDs. Every yearly at least 5 million people die because of tobacco use. About 2.8 million die from overweight high cholesterol accounts for roughly 2.6 million die because of high blood pressure6. An analysis of morbidity patterns by age clearly indicates that the elderly experience a greater burden of ailments compared to other age groups, across genders and residential locations. The Indian elderly are more likely to suffer from chronic than acute illness. There is a rise in NCDs, particularly cardiovascular, metabolic, and degenerative disorders, as well as communicable diseases while cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among the elderly7. According to Geriatric Health in India: Concerns and solutions it is shown that among the population over 60 years of age, 10% suffer from impaired physical mobility and 10% are hospitalized at any given time, both proportions rising with increasing age. In the population over 70 years of age, more than 50% suffer from one or more chronic conditions .The chronic illnesses usually include hypertension, coronary heart disease, and cancer. Respiratory disorders account for 10% mortality while infections including tuberculosis account for another 10%. Neoplasm accounts for 6% and accidents, poisoning, and violence constitute less than 4% of elderly mortality with more or less similar rates for nutritional, metabolic, gastrointestinal and genitourinary infections8.
