Here is one of those pieces of information that you can drop into a conversation and dumfound everybody with your breadth of knowledge. Did you know that the demand for knee replacements is growing annually at 23% in the East compared with 2.1% in the US? Not many people know that.
The reason for mentioning it is the rapid rate of aging of some of the Eastern countries – China will soon not only be the worlds most populated but the fastest aging country. Japan is decided ancient and South Korea is aging fast.
There is a tendency to think about the US and Europe and their aging populations but it’s not just limited to these continents.
