The theme is "the benefits of physical activities for the elderly".
O Brasil está passando por um aumento no número da população idosa, devido ao aumento na expectativa de vida e uma queda na taxa de natalidade. Com isso faz-se necessário realizar uma adaptação no sistema de saúde, para atender a grande demanda de doenças crônicas que têm surgido com o grande número de adultos maduros e idosos. Uma maneira de promover saúde nesse caso é incentivar os idosos a praticar atividade física frequentemente

demand imposed by
I believe you still want to retain the notion of 'demand' because the meaning is quite specific, implying that much needs to be done. - What's missing is the explicit connection to the diseases, which is solved with a phrase like 'imposed by'.
