The World Health Organisation has declared a Decade of Healthy Ageing (2021-2030).

Globally, as people live longer, the population aged 65 and over is growing faster than all other age groups¹. In fact, 16% of the globe's population will be aged 65 or above by 2050². In Europe and North America, this figure rises to 25% by 2050.

The WHO's Decade of Healthy Ageing highlights that all countries face major challenges to ensure that their healthcare and social systems are ready to meet this demographic shift³. As a result, it is critical the governments, companies and conusmers rally together to create environments and opportunities that enable a future where everyone can experience a healthy ageing journey.

We can help you cater to the specific needs of the ageing population with tailored nutritional solutions and expertise.

Without intervention, loss of muscle mass starts as early as the age of 30, with a 3-5% loss per decade. Ageing can also impact sense of taste, chewing and swallowing ability. Today’s nutritional offerings do not always cater to these needs. As we age, we require products that offer multiple solutions, such as better digestive comfort, through to easy-to-open packaging.

Consuming nutrient dense food more often throughout the day is a proven method of reaching dietary requirements in the ageing population. Upping the protein and calories in a range of breakfast, main meal, and snack foods can be a more manageable way of contributing to better health outcomes for seniors.
