VOICE-OVER:
The VTV-2018 explores the future.

2
00:00:04.920 --> 00:00:08.400	align:middle
If we continue down the current path
without change,

3
00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:12.520	align:middle
what will our public health
look like in 2040?

4
00:00:12.680 --> 00:00:17.720	align:middle
Due to aging, there will be one and a half
million more seniors than at present.

5
00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:21.920	align:middle
We are living longer,
and the life expectancy keeps increasing.

6
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:26.160	align:middle
Diseases of old age, like dementia,
will increase substantially.

7
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:30.240	align:middle
Health care expenditures
will continue to rise,

8
00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:34.200	align:middle
as the population ages
and medical options keep growing.

9
00:00:34.760 --> 00:00:38.800	align:middle
We will smoke less,
but we will be more overweight.

10
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:42.600	align:middle
Different population groups
will be affected differently.

11
00:00:42.760 --> 00:00:46.960	align:middle
Many people will have a disease
and often several at the same time.

12
00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:50.640	align:middle
Even so,
we don't feel less healthy.

13
00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:54.600	align:middle
The Trendscenario
shows which challenges we face.

14
00:00:55.160 --> 00:00:59.160	align:middle
The VTV explores
how we can deal with them.
