Core data: population aging; Elderly population data; Old-age dependency ratio, etc

1. Geriatric rehabilitation: one of the eight specialties of rehabilitation medicine

  According to the data of the Chinese Rehabilitation Medical Association, more than 60% of the newly added elderly population over the age of 60 in China need rehabilitation medical services, the need for rehabilitation medical treatment mainly includes the elderly with physical or functional disabilities, chronic diseases and organ dysfunction caused by them, physiological or pathological aging, etc. At the same time, the elderly population generally has the characteristics of more complications and adverse reactions.
