'This World Health Day, focus on ageing and health'

This article was about how older people are out living the young people in southeast Asia. This article states that number of elderly people will double by 2025 and triple by 2050. The reason that this is happening is because of the poor nutrition in the womb and this causes disease in adulthood. So, when the mothers are barley nurturing their unborn babies they are causing long term health issues in the babies life and causing the baby to have a short adult life.
The malnutrition is due to the poor living conditions in the southeast Asia area. Mother's have a hard time feeding the children after they are conceived. This has caused the population of the elderly to increase and the population of the young adult to die off. The article stated that due to the aging problem 80% of southeast Asia population is over 66.
I think that this is terrible this means that the youth don't have a chance to actually live a healthy life. They are getting so many disease that occur while developing in the womb that they decrease the years of living. The article stated that a way to "preventing diseases through immunization, good nutrition, and healthy lifestyles will result in longer living young adults. Then the young adults can have other healthy young adults. I believe that this will solve a lot of birth problem of they can get healthier mothers and babies.
