In conducting this study, the commission found that healthy longevity requires not only good health1 but also a fostering of social and environmental enablers, as described in Chapters 3 through 6. Many of the goals and recommendations in this report focus on older people because improving the lives of older people improves the lives of all people, and the goal of healthy longevity offers an expanded rationale for investments.

The commission emphasizes urgency of initiating planning and first-step actions, including proactive experimentation and innovation guided, not limited, by the evidence. It will also be critical to monitor progress using rigorous evaluation, metrics, and continuous improvement approaches.

Countries will need to address each goal based on their available resources and current investments and the overall health of their populations. Similarly, the commission refrained from prescribing detailed mechanisms for enacting the necessary policies given the unique contexts of each country, instead offering this overarching roadmap to guide country-specific paths to healthy longevity.

At a minimum, plans should include synthesis or coordination of policy responses in the areas identified in this report and indicate where investments will be made. For example, one component of a plan could involve governments working with the private sector to develop innovative, scalable, and sustainable societal initiatives designed to facilitate working longer for those who want to; enable social protections; and catalyze intergenerational connections, social capital, and productive engagement of older people.

Recommendation 7-2: International agencies, led by the World Health Organization, should work together and in concert with countries to reach consensus on metrics and surveillance mechanisms for routine data collection to measure healthy longevity. These data should be used to guide decision making with respect to prioritizing investments and monitoring outcomes and progress.

Data collection at the population level is resource intensive but important to enable continuous assessment and evaluation that can aid in identifying opportunities for intermediate change. Countries will need to consider efficient methods for gathering high-quality data.
