If the elderly population and life expectancy are both increasing, which health need may become more important?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Chronic-disease management and elderly care

When the elderly population grows and people live longer, health systems must prepare for conditions that require continuing care rather than only short treatment. Older adults are more likely to need support for chronic diseases, rehabilitation, medicines, mobility, mental well-being, and assistance with daily activities. Longer life means these needs may continue for more years.

Therefore chronic-disease management and elderly care become especially important, making option A correct. Infant vaccination, school health checks, and adolescent sports medicine remain valuable public-health services, but they address narrower age groups and cannot meet the central need described. The question does not say that services for children should stop; it asks which need becomes more important as ageing and life expectancy increase.
