I recently returned to the UK after more than a decade of living away. So much had changed, but my local coffee shop was just as I had left it. The same assorted chairs – functional, comfortable and everything in between – the same branded wall decor, even the same management-approved muzak piped around the store. The one thing that had changed, however, was the clientele. At one time, this cafe used to be teeming with energetic teenagers and 20-somethings. Now, it was filled with reflective senior citizens and it seemed apparent: the world is ageing.
Since the mid-1970s, the percentage of the world’s population over 60 has been increasing decade by decade. Advances in health care, hygiene, nutrition and lifestyle mean that more of us live longer. Add to this the global decline in birth rates, and we now have proportionally more older adults in society. Economists call this phenomenon "population ageing", while others talk about the “silver tsunami”.
The World Health Organisation reports that in 2015 the over-60s made up around 12 per cent of the global population. This figure is projected to almost double by 2050. In some highly developed nations, the proportion will be higher still, with the over 60 year olds making up more than a third of the population.
In 1950, when the UN began reporting data, global life expectancy was 45.7 years. This figure increased year on year, reaching 72.6 years in 2019. A slight decline in global life expectancy was reported between 2019 and 2021 – the first decrease since UN records began, a dip widely attributed to the Covid-19 pandemic.
However, there are also suggestions that we are rapidly approaching a point where global life expectancy will plateau. Today, global life expectancy stands at 72.9 years. Have we reached peak age?
The Bible (Psalm 90) famously places the typical human lifespan between 70 and 80 years. The Quran elegantly alludes to a lifetime as “alf shahr” – 1000 months or 83.3 years. Furthermore, certain Judaic traditions suggest an upper limit to longevity, proposing a maximum human lifespan of 120 years. In keeping with this, we have very few verified cases of people living beyond the age of 120. The longest-lived person in recent documented history is Jeanne Louise Calment (1875-1997), who lived to be 122.
Unfortunately, in many nations, older adult mental health services are an afterthought, if they exist at all
Currently, however, there is speculation that we can raise the bar on human longevity, helping more people live well into their 100s and perhaps even their 200s. In his book Ageless, Andrew Steel, a computational biologist, argues that there are people alive today who will live to see their 150th birthdays.
Whether any of us live long enough to celebrate our bicentennials, only time will tell. What is certain, though, is that our societies are ageing rapidly. This demographic transformation will have profound implications on health systems, the workforce, the economy and beyond. No doubt, the so-called silver tsunami will reshape our societies. Such anticipated changes are a primary driver behind the UN declaring 2021–2030 as "the decade of healthy ageing".
Further to that, last year, the government of Saudi Arabia made news when it entered the field of longevity research. The kingdom prioritised longevity, committing $20 billion to research promoting longer and healthier lives, a concept termed “healthspan” rather than lifespan. This investment makes the Saudi government the world’s largest funder of longevity research.
The Saudi investment and the UN's decade of healthy ageing is an acknowledgement that we need to do more to respond to the rights and needs of older people. A few of the decade's proposed challenges include creating age-friendly environments, ending ageism and offering appropriate and responsive health and social care tailored for the elderly. In short, the goal is to improve the lives of older people, their families and their communities.
Population ageing is a global challenge, and promoting healthy ageing is a worldwide initiative. Enjoying good health in old age must also include mental health. According to the WHO, around one in five adults over 60 experience a mental health problem or neurological disorder. Depression and dementia are the most common problems; anxiety disorders also feature prominently.
It is also notable that in the US, at least, the highest rates of suicide are among males over the age of 85, according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.
People over the age of 60 are at heightened risk for specific stressors known to affect mental health. For example, as we age, we are more likely to experience bereavement and the shrinking of social support networks, the loss of a spouse and lifelong friends. Similarly, ageing is associated with reduced mobility and health complaints. Additionally, retirement from the workforce can result in the loss of socioeconomic status, a daily routine and a sense of purpose. All these factors can precipitate loneliness, social isolation and mental health problems.
If we increase the healthspan and hope to meaningfully contribute to the decade of healthy ageing, we cannot afford to ignore mental health. Unfortunately, in many nations, older adult mental health services are an afterthought, if they exist at all. Similarly, many public health initiatives that promote well-being focus on schools and workplaces. But what about those who have retired?
The French Author Pierre-Jules Renard once wrote: “It is not a question of how old you are, but a question of how you are old.” With this in mind, it is especially important to promote the psychological well-being of the world's ageing population.

$1,000 award for 1,000 days on madrasa portal
Daily cash awards of $1,000 dollars will sweeten the Madrasa e-learning project by tempting more pupils to an education portal to deepen their understanding of math and sciences.
School children are required to watch an educational video each day and answer a question related to it. They then enter into a raffle draw for the $1,000 prize.
“We are targeting everyone who wants to learn. This will be $1,000 for 1,000 days so there will be a winner every day for 1,000 days,” said Sara Al Nuaimi, project manager of the Madrasa e-learning platform that was launched on Tuesday by the Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, to reach Arab pupils from kindergarten to grade 12 with educational videos.
“The objective of the Madrasa is to become the number one reference for all Arab students in the world. The 5,000 videos we have online is just the beginning, we have big ambitions. Today in the Arab world there are 50 million students. We want to reach everyone who is willing to learn.”

The Facility’s Versatility
Between the start of the 2020 IPL on September 20, and the end of the Pakistan Super League this coming Thursday, the Zayed Cricket Stadium has had an unprecedented amount of traffic.
Never before has a ground in this country – or perhaps anywhere in the world – had such a volume of major-match cricket.
And yet scoring has remained high, and Abu Dhabi has seen some classic encounters in every format of the game.
October 18, IPL, Kolkata Knight Riders tied with Sunrisers Hyderabad
The two playoff-chasing sides put on 163 apiece, before Kolkata went on to win the Super Over
January 8, ODI, UAE beat Ireland by six wickets
A century by CP Rizwan underpinned one of UAE’s greatest ever wins, as they chased 270 to win with an over to spare
February 6, T10, Northern Warriors beat Delhi Bulls by eight wickets
The final of the T10 was chiefly memorable for a ferocious over of fast bowling from Fidel Edwards to Nicholas Pooran
March 14, Test, Afghanistan beat Zimbabwe by six wickets
Eleven wickets for Rashid Khan, 1,305 runs scored in five days, and a last session finish
June 17, PSL, Islamabad United beat Peshawar Zalmi by 15 runs
Usman Khawaja scored a hundred as Islamabad posted the highest score ever by a Pakistan team in T20 cricket
