Abstract

 

Population ageing, which implicate an increasing share of elderly persons in a population, represents an unprecedented global demographic transformation and expected to intensify as the twenty first century progresses. The biomedical view, ageing related to physical and mental deterioration of people. Morbidities endured by understanding the sustainability and curable factors. The imbalance occurred due to the very fact that what problems previously endured due to the medical advancement and often cured today. However, somewhere there is blurred line existing between these two important aspects of elderly health i.e. between curing and enduring the issues. In the existing scientific literature, the two commonest concepts discussed and reported are medicalization and bio-medicalization. However, the opposite concept contradicting to the abovementioned concepts operationalized and defined as demedicalization. The paper discussed the present issues of gerontology and knowledge on elder healthcare through available literature review.
