我们正在经历人口结构的转变，从一个年轻人很多、老年人很少的世界，到这些年龄组的人数变得更加均衡的世界。原因之一是我们中越来越多的人活到了七十岁、八十岁、九十岁甚至更长。这是个好消息。不幸的是，这些老年群体患慢性疾病（包括糖尿病、关节炎和痴呆症）的几率通常高于年轻人。因为我们不知道如何治愈这些疾病，所以我们中的许多人至少会花一些额外的时间来治疗一种或多种慢性疾病。虽然我们比过去更有可能活到老年，但当我们到达老年时，我们很可能患有疾病。这就提出了一个挑战：我们应该如何应对这种变化？
We are living through a demographic transition from a world in which there were lots of young people and very few older adults to one in which the numbers in these age groups are becoming more evenly balanced. One reason for this is that more of us are living into our seventies, eighties, nineties, and beyond. That is the good news. Unfortunately, the chance of developing chronic illnesses (including diabetes, arthritis, and dementia) is typically higher for people in these older age groups than for those who are younger. Because we do not know how to cure these illnesses, many of us will spend at least some of this extra time with one or more chronic illness. While we are more likely than in the past to live into older age, we are likely to be living with illness when we get there. That raises a challenge: how should we respond to this change?
