The results of the seventh national census show that “China's population aged 60 and above exceeds 260 million, accounting for 18.70% of the population, and aging is intensifying” (2).

By the year 2050, the global population of older adults is expected to increase by approximately 20.6%, resulting in an estimated 2 billion older adults worldwide. Most of these older adults will live in low- and middle-income countries [LMICs; (2)].
