Population ageing is rapid in China, so it is urgent to address this problem. Providing equitable, accessible, systematic and continuous health care services in life course and conducing life course study in elderly cohort can facilitate the construction of a life-course health care system for ageing. At present, there are limited prospective cohort studies of the elderly population in China, especially the oldest-old and centenarians, indicating that it is still necessary to establish and integrate cohorts of the elderly population to conduct epidemiological studies of the life course of the elderly. This special issue focuses on the topic of healthy ageing to discuss the future development of the health management of the elderly population in Beijing from different aspects and the potential risk factors affecting the health of the elderly, analyse the key influencing factors that can reduce all-cause and cardiovascular diseases mortalities, provide evidence support for the development of healthy ageing strategies, prevention of chronic diseases in the elderly and the construction of an ageing health care system in China.
我国目前正处于人口老龄化的快速发展阶段，解决中国人口老龄化的难题迫在眉睫。立足全生命周期提供公平可及、系统连续的健康服务，构建老年全生命周期年龄队列有助于推动老年人群立体全生命周期健康服务体系的建设。目前基于中国老年人群特别是高龄及百岁老人的前瞻性队列研究较少，尚需建立和整合老年人群队列开展老年全生命周期的流行病学研究。本期重点号以健康老龄化为主题，从不同维度探讨了北京市老年人群健康管理应关注的新领域及方向和影响老年人健康的潜在危险因素，分析了可降低全因死亡及心脑血管死亡的关键影响因素，为制定健康老龄化策略、预防老年慢性病、加快老龄化卫生保健体系建设提供了基于我国人群的证据支持。.
