06 Feb 2018 --- The world’s older population continues to grow at an astounding rate. According to a report by the US’ Census Bureau, nearly 17 percent of the world’s population will be aged 65 and over by 2050, up from the current 8 percent. This aging of the population is reflected in a rising interest in age-related health aspects such as bone and joint health. Unsurprisingly maybe, mobility has also become a key area of focus as the loss of physical mobility that so often accompanies aging is the number one reason why many elderly people end up in nursing homes.
