title = "The road to healthy ageing: What has indonesia achieved so far?",
abstract = "The World Health Organization (WHO) has projected that the world should prepare for an aging society. As the fourth most populous country in the world, the elderly population in Indonesia is also continuously growing. In 2010, the proportion of the elderly group was merely 5%, and it is expected to increase to 11% in 2035. Understanding the current situation of the adult population in Indonesia would be crucial to prepare for the future aging population. This article analyzed the current socio-demographic status, nutrition status, nutrient intake, and health profile of the current Indonesian adult population through a literature review. The key issues to prepare for healthy aging in Indonesia are summarized. Acknowledging the profile of the adult and senior adult population in Indonesia will provide beneficial information for all stakeholders in preparing Indonesia for a better healthy aging population with improved quality of life.",

note = "Funding Information: The government of Indonesia launched the Healthy Life Society Movement (GER-MAS) to raise public awareness to live a healthy lifestyle, mainly to improve physical activity, to eat healthy food, and to do regular health check-ups. This lifestyle guideline is supported by inter-ministerial coordination, involving the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of Youth and Sport, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Fisheries, Ministry of Religious Affairs, Food and Drug Administration, and the National Health Insurance Agency. In general, the lifestyle guidelines include promoting physical activities, eating fruit and vegetables, avoiding smoking and alcohol consumption, routine health screening, having a healthy environment, clean water and sanitation. For senior adults, the government recommends routine health monitoring in the integrated guidance post (POSBINDU), developing hobbies based on their health conditions, having balanced nutrition consumption, avoiding smoking, performing elderly exercises, increasing social activity, and managing stress well [61]. The proportion of people with sufficient physical activities is decreasing across the years in all age groups, that is, from 73.9% (2013) to 66.5% (2018) [23]. Indonesian adults have low physical activity as they live sedentary lifestyles. People prefer to use transportation than walking to other places, especially those living in urban cities.
