Professor Remco Polman, Director of the Centre for Applied Sport and Exercise Sciences, University of Central Lancashire provides this provocation on Ageing/Lifelong Health and Wellbeing:

What are the implications of this and how are we going to be able to look after this group of people when resources are already stretched?

We need to have a radical re-think in terms of healthcare, the environment and the economy if we are going to be able to secure the future of humanity.
