Background 研討會緣起
According to UNESCAP, the Asia-Pacific region is moving towards an aging population. Aging society is an issue that every country in the Asia-Pacific region will face, and it's no doubt that nutrition plays a key role in elderly health.
In order to improve elderly nutrition, Chinese Taipei has adopted measures to promote an age-friendly dietary environment. By referring to international practices and dietary trends, we developed a manual on the quality of diet for the elderly through cross-ministerial, NGOs, and corporate cooperation. We also set up community nutrition promotion center, providing more comprehensive and nutrition services for the community elderly.
The Health Promotion Administration (HPA) will hold this "APEC Conference on Policies and Technologies to Promote Health Aging with Healthy Diet" in 2025, inviting international experts, NGOs and APEC economies to participate in the conference, which focuses on elderly nutrition and jointly creates an age-friendly healthy eating environment.
