GER4HWB: Introduction
Module 1: Semester 2, 2017 8
Figure 4: Health promotion for old age
How will we:
Achieve healthy ageing?
Prevent or delay the onset of chronic disease?
 Manage chronic disease better?
 Improve social and built environment?
 Achieve advances in science and technology?
 Make lifestyle changes such as increased physical activity, better nutrition, less
smoking?
 Improve negative or inaccurate attitudes towards older people?
Different people have different views of healthy ageing—how would you like to age? What
may be a level of health for some may be quite unsatisfactory for others.
