 The Global Roadmap for Healthy Longevity: United States of America National Academy of Medicine Consensus Study Report, 2022John E.L. Wong, Linda P. Fried and Victor J. Dzau The Journal of the Economics of Ageing, 2023, vol. 24, issue C Abstract: In 2019, the United States of America National Academy of Medicine (NAM) charged an international, independent, and multidisciplinary commission with the development of a consensus report: “The Global Roadmap for Healthy Longevity,” to assess the challenges presented by population ageing and make evidence-based recommendations for how these challenges can be translated into opportunities for societies globally. In this paper, we highlight these recommendations, and show how they can generate a virtuous cycle, starting with a whole-of-society investment in key enablers, especially social infrastructure, the physical environment, health systems, work and volunteerism opportunities, and lifelong learning and retraining, with social cohesion, equity, and a strong social compact at the centre, resulting in populations having good health throughout their life course, triggering a longevity dividend from untapped human, social and economic capital as life spans increase.
