Lancet Series
Mid-2012
A Lancet series will focus on ageing and health. It will take stock of the evidence on the physical and mental health status of older adults around the world and identify patterns in high-， low- and middle-income countries. It will also identify possible research gaps and point towards evidence-based innovative policy options.
Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing
18-20 September 2012 -- Vienna
With 2012 marking the 10-year anniversary of the adoption of the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing （MIPAA）， this Ministerial Conference "Ensuring a society for all ages： promoting quality life and active ageing" will present an opportunity for Member States of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe to define the way ahead. The Plan of Action is a resource for policy-makers， suggesting ways for governments， nongovernmental organizations and other stakeholders to reorient the ways in which their societies perceive， interact with and care for their older citizens. The review and appraisal of the Madrid Plan takes place every five years. The second review and appraisal process （Madrid＋10） started in 2011.

Dawodati， 73， Uganda
"I live with four grandchildren and one daughter who isn’t married. My other daughters also bring their children here for me to look after. They are mainly single mothers and have nobody to look after their children when they have to go and work. I own my house and have one acre of land that we cultivate. I inherited this from my husband. Last year， I went to do a training on how to make a memory book for my grandchildren and how to write my last will. The memory books are very important in teaching children about their clan history and how they can trace other members of their family if something were to happen to me and my daughters. The training on writing a will made me realize that I must write down who owns our property."
