This is a book dedicated to those who know they are growing old, those who think they are already old, and those who feel oldness has already blurred their colorful vista of life and has registered into their creaky bones, regardless of their ages.
The number of these kinds of people are in millions in Asia alone. According to Food Facts Asia, a publication of the Asian Food Information Center, the number of senior citizens (60 years old and above) would increase by 314%, from 207 million in year 2000 to 857 million by 2050.1 East Asia countries are beginning to worry about their graying societies. In Japan, more and more of its people are hitting the age of 100! In China the proportion of people 65 and over will probably double in the next 25 years from 8% (of the population) to 16% in 2030, according to the UN projections.2 The Philippines is estimated to contribute between 10 to 15 million to the worldwide statistics.
Growing old is unstoppable, this is despite the billion-dollar attempt of cosmetologists worldwide to make people forever “looking” young, if possible. Medical sciences, too, have made leapfrog discoveries to preserve the suppleness of muscles, the flexibility of human bones and the tone of skins. Still such heroic attempts to prolong life, and evade ageing are effective only to a certain extent. Yet growing old is a commutable sentence, according to Gail Sheehy. She simply means that there is no fixed number at which we stop being middle-aged and are sentenced to being “old.”
