Premier Li Xianlong revealed at the National Day Mass Congress on August 20 that the government is planning a new plan called Lingling SG (Age Well SG) to complement the earlier health SG plan to promote the physical and mental health of the elderly.Live Yu Xia's old age.For many years, this is undoubtedly worth looking forward to.
The Lingling SG plans to be led by the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Development, and the Ministry of Communications, and the details will be announced in the next few months.Health SG plans to focus on preventing nursing. However, the age of age is good, not only to prevent diseases, but also healthy physical and mental.Therefore, the focus of the age SG will be placed on promoting the mental health of the elderly. Through more measures, it will help the elderly to maintain contact with the society and stay active, and avoid them from being disconnected from the society and have a sense of loneliness.In addition, the official also invested more resources to create a more affordable living environment, a safer and easy -to -pass community, and auxiliary living facilities that integrate more of housing, nursing and community services, so that everyone can retire in place.
Singapore society is moving from aging to super -aging. Such a new needs of such a society are many aspects.Physical health and medical needs are only one of them.Being able to take into account the physical and mental health of the elderly population at the same time, and the convenience and safety of the entire living environment, is the ideal state of old -fashioned support.
Singapore is one of the fastest aging countries in the world. The elderly account for an increasingly population proportion. Now about one -five -fifth of Singaporeans are 65 years old and above. By 2030, this proportion will be nearly four points.one.At the same time, the expectations of the Chinese people are also relatively long. According to the latest data released by the Singapore Bureau of Statistics in May, local residents born in 2022 have a life expectancy of 83 years.
Compared with other countries in the world, the Healthy Life Expectancy of Chinese people is also one of the highest in the world.According to the World Health Organization website data, in 2019, Singaporeans expect a health life of 73.6, ranking second in the world, second only to Japan (74.1).However, if compared to the expected health life and life span, it means that more people may be unhealthy about 10 years in the last 10 years of life. In other words, they may be sick and will greatly affect the quality of life.How to maintain good quality of life as much as possible is a topic that Chinese people must care about.
To ensure good quality of life in the elderly, you must have good health and mental health.This should be the beautiful goal that SG wants to achieve.For this reason, the government, and community organizations, welfare groups, etc. have successively implemented many relevant plans and measures in recent years, including the establishment of active age centers throughout the island, which is convenient for people to pick up materials on the spot and participate in the center near the home home.Various recreational activities.
However, most women participated in the event with women, and there were very few men.Premier Li himself visited the active age center of Bello recently and discovered such a phenomenon.According to observations, most of the women participating in the contact office are usually female.Therefore, how to attract more men of men to participate in the activities will be a major challenge for all active age centers.
When people reach old age, they generally reduce their activities due to their physical decline. As a result, some people ignore exercise, and some are overeating, so various health problems occur.From the perspective of those relatively healthy people's life experience, the elderly maintaining active and regular life is the key to maintaining good health.Therefore, when we are going to enter the super -aging society, the elderly people should have awareness in this regard, and we must bear personal responsibility, and learn to make full use of the plans and facilities designed for people with the above.EssenceIn addition, the soul's sustenance, especially religious beliefs, also helps the elderly to face the inevitable ultimate question in life.
In a super -aging society, the importance of family may be emphasized.Although the trend of small familyization is no reversed, even if the children cannot live close to their parents, they must know how to love and protect the elderly, explore themselves, and ask the warmth to let the young parents feel the warmth of their children and grandchildren.Those who may have more spiritual support in this area.Only with the continuous improvement of various social facilities and the continuous family cohesion, can we have a super -aging society that is active and warm rather than twilight.
