Abstract

As life expectancy continues to increase, aging populations face rising challenges related to chronic diseases. While biological aging is often blamed for these conditions, environmental factors and unhealthy behaviors significantly contribute to their prevalence. The paper, through the method of literature review, explored the causes of chronic disease in the aging population with some useful solutions. This includes the harmful chemicals released by tobacco, possible causes of cardiovascular disease, and unhealthy dietary behaviors that make adults face diabetes issues. The paper also includes the counterargument for the potential issues that might appear in the solution, with evidence to battle against the issues. The paper finds that many government policies have not yet addressed the needs of older adults and focuses on the need for government action. In addition, the paper includes many possible policies that might be helpful in addressing the issues
