Abstract
The number of older people is growing rapidly worldwide. More than 580 million people are older than 60 years, and the number is projected to rise to 1000 million by 2020.1 With the increase in life expectancy, the leading causes of death have shifted dramatically from infectious diseases to noncommunicable diseases and from younger to older individuals. In industrialized countries, about 75% of deaths in persons older than the age of 65 are now from cardiovascular diseases and cancer.2Keywords
