Healthy aging and cardiovascular health in Kyrgyzstan: current status and emerging challenges

Abstract

s Kyrgyzstan undergoes significant demographic transitions, with an increasing aging population, the intersection of healthy aging and cardiovascular health emerges as a critical aspect of public health. We explore the relationship of healthy aging and cardiovascular health, underlining both the opportunities and challenges inherent in this demographic shift. Applying the World Health Organization's concept of "intrinsic capacity" and the "Integrated Care for Older People" (ICOPE) approach, we suggest strategies for addressing these crucial public health issues.
