The country also has an ageing population. By 2035, it is likely to “become a severely aging society” with an estimated 400 million people — or 30% of its population — aged 60 or older, according toA 2019 study by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 76% of people aged 60 years or older develop at least one chronic disease.
