| Annotation | The potential contribution of prevention towards optimised active ageing has frequently been recognised and supported by studies and initiatives from around the world. This article aims to reflect on the role of prevention with respect to active ageing, and why early action and intervention to promote active ageing at a societal, familial and personal level has become somewhat of a necessity. The article supports the theme that prevention can play an important role in promoting active ageing, by providing observations of injury prevention and contemporary active ageing initiatives in the UK from a practitioner's perspective. The article therefore provides a simple and structured reflection upon the potential role of injury prevention in active ageing, and also provides a framework for further analysis and discussion.
