Healthy ageing is a goal for all ageing societies, yet there are inequalities in healthy ageing. How should we measure this as an outcome? Both personal and environmental factors contribute to healthy ageing. The speakers from a diverse background will explore these issues and discuss how society as a whole may facilitate healthy ageing in the context of social determinants.
