Grand Challenge for Healthy Longevity - National Academy of Medicine | National Academy of Medicine: By 2050, this percentage is projected to more than double, reaching 1.6 billion. The global population of the “oldest old” – people aged 80 and older – is expected to more than triple between 2015 and 2050, growing from 126 million to 447 million. At the current pace, population aging is poised to impose a significant strain on economies, health systems, and social structures worldwide. But it doesn’t have to.�
