    Abstract Rapid population aging is a characteristic of the 21st century, regardless of a nation’s level of development. An aging global population results in a burden in medical and social demographic problems worldwide. Addressing this problem is the highest priority for the care of the aging population worldwide. Healthy aging is an individual lived experience that is influenced by healthy behaviors over the course of a lifetime. This includes a person’s ability to: meet their basic needs; learn, grow and make decisions; be mobile; build and maintain relationships, and contribute to society. For the promotion of healthy aging, a healthy lifestyle is important. A healthy lifestyle for older adults includes healthy eating, regular physical activity, staying at a healthy weight, improving mental health, social participation, regular health checkups and health screening, no smoking, and taking steps to prevent falls.

    Abstract The new type of corona virus officially named as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-2 CoV-2) was first reported in Wuhan China in late December 2019. This article aimed at presenting the preventive strategies implemented against COVID-19 by thegovernment of Nepal and the government of Hong Kong and show how the effective policy discourses coupled with careful preventive measures play critical roles in controlling the virus. This discussion paper is based on various print and non-print media that cover the information about the COVID-19 and the adopted strategies to contain the COVID-19 outbreak in Hong Kong and Nepal. it appears that efficient political leadership, notwithstanding democratically elected or not, people’s health literacy, and effective strategies of the government play key roles in containing the contagion. Government in jurisdictions like Nepal should invest more resources for development of the skilled manpower and conduct more research studies related to the infection prevention and control to deal with the emergency outbreak in the future.

    Abstract Background: Functional disability among older people is a growing concern for research for the quality of life of older people these days. The purpose of this paper is to present the situation of functional disability among Nepali elderly living in a rural area. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study from a rural area of Nepal. The total sample size for this study was 150 older persons 65 years and older. Functional disability on older people was assessed using internationally widely used instruments Activities of Daily Livings (ADLs) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Livings (IADLs). Results: Mean age of the older persons was 78.46 (±7.78) years. This study found a functional limitation on at least one ADL and IADL was 30% and 52%, respectively. Among the six items of ADLs highest problem was in incontinence (24%), followed by bathing (16%), use of toilet (14%), transfer within the home (10%), dressing and undressing (10%), and feeding (8%). Among IADLs highest dependency was in taking medicine (46%) followed by traveling (44%), shopping (40%), housekeeping (38%), and food preparation (34%). Conclusion: This study shows the functional limitations of Nepalese older persons living in the countryside are very high. ADLs and IADLs difficulties often correspond to the exact need for help, supervision, and hands-on care of an older person. The government should focus on some intervention programs for the wellbeing of older adults.

    Abstract Population ageing is an issue of worldwide importance. People are living longer due to advances in education, technology, medicine, food distribution, and public health. While the COVID-19 pandemic has significant global impacts, in many countries the elderlyface threats and challenges that are unique and disproportionately severe. One such threat is that aging results in a decline in immune function, meaning elderly bodies respond more slowly and less effectively to external threats like COVID-19. Responses at individual, family, community and societal levels should take into account the heightened vulnerability of older adults during this pandemic.

    Abstract Ageing population is attributable to the growing trend of diabetes mellitus. Diabetic patients are three times greater risk of developing tuberculosis. The review aims to describe the state of tuberculosis and diabetes mellitus comorbidity, risk factors for the comorbidity from the perspective of the ageing in Nepal. It is a systematic narrative review of literature in Google Scholar and Pubmed. At first, title and abstract of an article was reviewed for relevance, and then full article was reviewed for validity. The secondary data was retrieved from the Central Bureau of Statistics of Nepal and WHO, and analysed in the Ms-Excel. In Nepal, the population is ageing. The risk factors associated with diabetes are escalating. On the other hand, tuberculosis is endemic and about 45% of the Nepalese people are infected with tuberculosis bacteria. These circumstances have laid the foundation that fosters tuberculosis and diabetes co-epidemic in the future. The clinical management of patients with the comorbid condition is a difficult task because diabetes and tuberculosis interact with each other, one worsening the other. The upsurge of the co-morbidity needs the provision of more health services threatening the public health system of Nepal. It is fundamental to create a mechanism to integrate diabetes and tuberculosis program such as screening, diagnosis and management of the both diseases at the all levels of health service delivery. Furthermore, increase awareness of healthy lifestyle and the prevention of the risk factors for tuberculosis and diabetes could reduce the occurrence of the comorbidity in the future.
