00:00:00 - 00:00:00

The YouTube video "OMS diz que Brasil terá mais de 70 milhões de idosos em 2050" discusses the rising number of elderly people in Brazil, which is projected to triple by 2050, according to a report from the World Health Organization. The speaker emphasizes the issue of elderly people living alone and their reliance on technology for assistance, using the example of Dona Maria, who suffered injuries from two falls and was left alone. Approximately 3 million elderly Brazilians live alone, with some preferring independence and others forced into it due to limited options. New technologies, such as pulse monitors and emergency buttons, are being developed to help keep elderly people safe. However, falls are the main concern, and these technologies could be incorporated into public policies. The city of São Paulo has the highest number of elderly people in the country, but only 250 have access to the service. The speaker suggests programs that prevent elderly people from feeling isolated and encourage intergenerational interaction as solutions. Dona Maria, a 75-year-old mother of nine, expresses her desire for greater care from her children and for them not to abandon their elderly parents, as she is currently doing for her own mother.
