aged over 65 years, this has increased from 1990 to 9% in 2019. it has been identified or
interpreted that older age population can further rise to 16% by 2050. on the basis of which one
in 6 people in the world will be aged 65 year old. The Australian peoples who live in the rural
area possess the shorter lives due to the various reasons, such as higher level of injury, disease
and poor access to health services. In the remote and very remote area younger peoples under
