| Annotation | The discussion document referred to is 'Healthy ageing: keystone for a sustainable Europe - EU policy in the context of demographic change' (European Commission, January 2007). The Alliance for Health & the Future considers that a 'life course' approach - from when we are born, continuing through childhood, and progressing into adult life - is required. It believes that the EU has an important role in achieving a healthier and more active society by: defining health indicators and providing data (metrics); encouraging a multi-factorial approach involving individuals, employers and people working in health care; and supporting Member States' efforts to fund health care effectively. The EU's anti-age discrimination legislation should be of help in supporting older people's well-being. (RH). |
