note = {[Aging Today. Challenges and Opportunities] It is impossible to ignore
that the number of old and very old people in our society is
increasing. The resulting changes are sketched in the first part from
the following perspectives: demographic, biological, medical, nursing,
psychological, sociological and social. The second part reflects on
aging from a biblical perspective, including its impact in history,
such as in the concept of »memento mori«. From there, in the third
part, action-oriented suggestions are drafted as examples –
specifically on the current topics of retirement, living in old age,
dealing with dementia patients, and dying in old age. The conclusion
is framed by an outlook: aging from the perspective of the Gospel –
challenges and opportunities.},
