Japan is the most rapidly ageing society with 28.2% now in this age group; in contrast, emerging economies such as India have some of the world's youngest populations (6.1% aged 65+) [2]. The creation of super-aged societies will be without parallel in human history. While people may be living longer, it is also important to consider their Quality of Life (QoL), whether these additional years are 'healthy life years' [3]. </p>
