Population aging and increasing longevity are phenomena evolving on a global scale. Japan is one of the most “advanced” in the world in terms of population aging and longevity. Recently, the terms “aging” and “increasing longevity” have been used almost always—as if they were must-have keywords—in discussing social issues or prospects for the future. However, what is it like being in an increasingly aging society? What is it like living a long life? What challenges are we facing and must be addressed? There are a whole lot of things we do not know about the elderly and aged society. We all get old so long as we live. However, probably not many people see this as something happening to themselves, having a clear idea of how their own lives and those of people close to them would change with the aging of society and themselves. It may be the case that not knowing makes people feel a vague sense of anxiety about their future and future society.
 
This book is a compilation of works by a group of researchers doing research on aging and gerontology at the University of Tokyo, led by faculty members of the Institute of Gerontology (IOG) established in April 2009, to provide a complete set of basic knowledge everyone living in this aged society should have.
