Why is physical and emotional health a key issue for older people and there carers?

Physical and emotional health are key issues for older people and their caregivers because health conditions can impact quality of life, increase the need for care, and create emotional stress on both parties. Maintaining physical health helps older adults stay independent and have a better quality of life, while addressing emotional health can improve overall well-being and relationship dynamics among caregivers and older adults. Providing support for both physical and emotional well-being is essential for promoting overall health and quality of life in older populations.
