Taiwan working for a healthy, sustainable aging
Lakartidningen. 2026 Feb 12;123:25077.
ABSTRACT
Taiwan is addressing rapid population aging by promoting senior health and nutrition. By 2025, over 20% of its population is aged 65 or older. For this reason, Taiwan launched Community Nutrition Promotion Centres in 2017, that are now operating in all counties. The community nutritionists guide seniors on balanced diets using adapted traditional recipes. They also offer nutrition screenings and promote physical activity. In 2023, Taiwan passed the Nutrition and Healthy Diet Promotion Act and showcased its efforts at a 2025 APEC conference. Taiwan is setting a regional example for healthy, sustainable aging.
