In New York, Member States are gathering for the @UN Statistical Commission to discuss all things data.

2/ To implement initiatives & policies that are effective in fostering #HealthyAgeing, we need a fuller understanding of older people's needs & contexts.
One important way to develop this understanding is by collecting meaningful & representative data about older people. 📈

3/ For example, inequities faced by older people will remain invisible if data on them are not collected.
We also can't challenge ageist assumptions of older age as inevitable decline if data on older people's contributions to society are limited.

#AddingLifeToYears #MIPAA20Rome
Ministers from the host of #MIPAA20Rome, Italy, are now speaking on the challenges but also the opportunities of population ageing.

@dienekeita (@UNFPA) provides a strong message: we must do for older people now what we want for ourselves when we are older.
#MIPAA, #MIPAA20Rome, and the @UNDecadeAgeing all show there is political will to improve the lives of older people. That will must be backed by action.

People around the 🌏 are living longer than ever before. This is good news: we now have an opportunity to be & do what we value for longer.
But our societies & environments still require significant transformations to help us maximise this opportunity. 👉 who.int/health-topics/…

Although we are living longer, our extra years are not necessarily being lived in good health.
In part, this is because the negative effects of living in unsupportive, unhealthy environments accumulate over time & often manifest in later life.
