National Academy of Medicine: Global Roadmap for Healthy Longevity Report
The National Academy of Medicine released a consensus study, titled Global Roadmap for Healthy Longevity.
The Global Roadmap for Health Longevity charts key evidence-based recommendations across sectors that promote and advance healthy longevity across the life course. These policies, socioeconomic infrastructure improvements and innovations have the potential to set societies on the path to provide healthier, more fulfilling, and productive lives from birth to death. Changes will give individuals the ability and opportunity to live life with dignity, meaning and purpose, and contribute to societal well-being on a scale that previous generations could not have imagined. Ensuring that all people of all ages can achieve healthy longevity equity is at the center of the report.
The National Academy of Medicine assembled an International Commission to author the Global Roadmap with guidance from an International Oversight Board, comprised of leaders from foundations, business, government and academia. The Global Roadmap emphasizes the need for equity within and across countries, and describes how improvements in social infrastructure, the physical environment, and health systems can lead to healthy longevity, and, in turn, to thriving societies.
