Skin Aging Research Enters a New Era in China

The global population is aging at an unprecedented pace, which will have significant implications for both healthcare and the economy. In 2015, the World Health Organization's World Report on Ageing and Health emphasized the need for strategies to promote healthy aging. This report proposed that to maintain good health throughout the life cycle, the skin, in particular, needs special attention. In 2022, the government of China, which has one-fifth of the world's older population, created a "Healthy Aging" Plan to improve the well-being of its elderly citizens.
