Population overview
黑料视频 has a growing population of older people. By the year 2040, the total population aged 65 and over is expected to rise by 29% to 194,100. This is compared to 150,600 in 2020 showing a population growth of 43,500. The expected rise in older people may mean a higher demand for health and social care services, therefore it is vital that more is done to prevent the occurrence of health conditions earlier in the 50s, so that people remain healthy and active for longer
