Abstract
he world's demographic situation reveals how rapidly the population of the
elderly is ageing. Despite developed and emerging countries, the old population around the
world is a worrying trend. According to a United Nations demographic estimate, there may
be 1,171 million elderly people worldwide in 2025. Additionally, for the first time ever, the
world's elderly population will outnumber its young population. According to the 2011
Census of India, 5.5% of the country's population would be 65 years of age or older, with a
male population of 30, 831, 190 and a female population of 33, 998, 613. Although there are
numerous disorders that affect the elderly, according to reports, their main issues are more
psychological than physical.
