ABOUT THIS EPISODE
As of 2025, about 8.1 million Canadians are aged 65+, roughly 19.5% of the population. That proportion is expected to rise to about 23–25% by 2040. Meaning that the “oldest old” population is growing fastest! So what can we do to prepare ourselves for aging? In this episode of the (w)healthy podcast we are joined by Dr. Jenn Jakobi, Director of the Institute of Healthy Living and Chronic Disease Prevention and Professor of Health and Exercise Science at UBCO, to talk about how we can support healthy aging through movement, community design, and research that centers the voices of older adults themselves.
