WHO IS AT RISK ?
A group of people within the general population of Canada who, owing to either higher
sensitivity and/or more exposure, may be at a greater risk than the overall population of suffering
unfavorable health consequences from disease condition, disability, economic stability or due to
extreme weather condition. If I talk about a population old age people/ retired ones are the one of
the most affected populations who is at risk in Canada.
WHY THEY ARE AFFECTED
There are some stats according to official website of Canada government as the 2021
Census recorded almost 861,000 individuals 85 and older, more than double the 2001 total. The
85-plus population grew 12% from 2016 to 2017. 2.3% of the population is 85+. COVID-19
killed many older Canadians, yet their population grew quickly. By 2046, the 85-and-older
population might increase to 2.5 million. Canada has over 9,500 centenarians, up 16% from
2016. Canada has 0.03% centenarians (Statistics Canada, 2022). In persons 85 and older, women
still outnumber males, although the ratio is declining. More over one-quarter of 85-year-olds live
in a nursing home, long-term care facility, or seniors' residence due to activity limits or health
difficulties. Age raises this percentage. In three-fifths of the country's main urban centers, more
individuals 85 and older live in the downtown core than in the large urban center overall
(Statistics Canada, 2022). Downtown regions feature more services and facilities, such as
hospitals, long-term care, and senior-friendly housing. As more elders live to 85 and beyond,
