Globally, the population aged 60 years and above is growing faster than any younger age group. According to the UN, (2017), between 2015-2050, the proportion of the world's older adults is expected to nearly double from 12%-22% (UN, 2017), whereas in Arab region, it is estimated to almost double and a half from 6.02%-15.2% (UNFPA, 2017). Lebanon has the fastest growing older adult population in the Arab region (Abdulrahim, Ajrouch, & Antonucci, 2015). By the end of 2015, people aged 60 years and older represented 7.3% of Lebanon's population and is expected to increase to 12.0% and 21.0% by the year 2030 and 2050, respectively (Sibai, Rizk, & Kronfol, 2015). Moreover, older people are more vulnerable to chronic diseases and need more healthcare services than younger age group. The National Institute on Aging (2017) reported that 85% of older people have at least one long-term illness and 60% have at least two conditions. Due to escalating population size and number of comorbidities among older people, it is an essential need to enhance the quality of health care among this population.
