N2  - In past times growing old has been synonymous with increasing disability, so that the old have been seen as sans everything. But it is argued here that old age no longer needs to be a time of greater disability, especially if the lifestyles of children and adults are made as healthy as those in less industrialized nations. Design for old age should consder the effects of ageing tissues and common chronic diseases, but, more importantly, should empower the elderly person so that they may continue a dignified, productive life.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
