Description

Health is not just the absence of disease.

In an era when living to 100 is becoming more common,

our concept of ageing must evolve.

While Hong Kong people enjoy the world's longest life expectancy, an important question arises: Are we truly achieving healthy ageing?

In this book, Professor Jean Woo addresses a diverse array of challenges associated with the elderly population in Hong Kong society, including issues like elderly poverty, unfriendly community designs, unfair stigmatization faced by seniors, and late-life loneliness. Drawing on extensive research and clinical experience, she advocates for self-care, education, and empowerment, encouraging us to move beyond dependence on doctors and medications.

Ageing is inevitable, yet we can control how we age.
