📢 Now Available: The WHO Ageism Scale – available in 10 languages, and more to come. Ageism is everywhere, widespread and harmful. To know if we’re making progress in creating #AWorld4AllAges, we need a reliable tool to measure ageism. But we didn’t have that tool… Until now.

Today is #WorldHealthDay!. On this day, we're celebrating the amazing things we can ALL be and do at older age – if our health and well-being are supported. But first, let's talk about 'health' – there's a lot of misunderstandings around it. What does health mean, anyway? 🧵⬇️

This #WorldHealthDay, and on every other day, let's work towards a world where ALL people can be and do what they value – throughout their whole lives. Because that's good health. That's #HealthForAll. And that's #HealthyAgeing! 🙌. /15

So if we're thinking about #HopefulFutures, let's make sure we don't stop at ensuring mothers and babies have a great beginning. Let's set up the health and care systems and broader environments needed to support all mothers and babies to live a long and fulfilled life. /14

So let's bring it all back to what this year's #WorldHealthDay is about – the health of mothers and babies. #HealthyAgeing isn't just about current generations of older people. It's also about making sure future generations can enjoy the benefits of longer lives, too. /13

That's what we mean when we say the @UNDecadeAgeing is our opportunity to foster #HealthyAgeing – for everyone. Because what matters is not just the number of years we live, but the quality of those years. And together, we can make every year count. #WorldHealthDay. /12

So how does this all link to #HealthyAgeing?. It's not that far of a leap. Healthy ageing also means being enabled to be and do what we value – no matter what our age. It means not just adding years to life, but #AddingLifeToYears. And it's fundamental to #HealthForAll. /11
