AI Article Synopsis
- The integration of modern medicine has increased life expectancy but also led to issues like musculoskeletal pain and disability, affecting quality of life in older adults.
- The Aarhus Regenerative Orthopaedics Symposium (AROS) 2015 aimed to tackle regenerative challenges related to ageing by bringing together clinicians, scientists, and engineers.
- This position paper outlines current societal, patient, and scientific challenges while proposing a strategic roadmap to address the urgent healthcare needs of an ageing population.
Article Abstract
The combination of modern interventional and preventive medicine has led to an epidemic of ageing. While this phenomenon is a positive consequence of an improved lifestyle and achievements in a society, the longer life expectancy is often accompanied by decline in quality of life due to musculoskeletal pain and disability. The Aarhus Regenerative Orthopaedics Symposium (AROS) 2015 was motivated by the need to address regenerative challenges in an ageing population by engaging clinicians, basic scientists, and engineers. In this position paper, we review our contemporary understanding of societal, patient-related, and basic science-related challenges in order to provide a reasoned roadmap for the future to deal with this compelling and urgent healthcare problem.
