Health Promotion in Older Age

Health promotion in older age involves activities and strategies that support maintaining and improving health, functioning, and quality of life. It includes regular physical activity, balanced nutrition, managing chronic conditions, staying socially connected, and avoiding harmful behaviors like smoking and excessive alcohol use. The goal is to empower older adults to take control of their health, prevent illness, and enjoy independence as long as possible. Healthcare providers work alongside older individuals to create personalized plans that promote overall well-being and resilience in later years.
