| Annotation | This report has been compiled in preparation for a European seminar, 'Adding life to years - taking the necessary steps to promote healthy ageing', organised as part of Ageing Well Europe, a European programme of health promotion for and with older people (aged 65 and over). The report examines demographic trends across Europe; the causes of ill health in older people and the likely impact on healthcare costs; and the potential for health promotion to prevent or delay the onset of ill health in old age. It sets out a health promotion strategy, citing examples of successful projects, and looks at how health promotion can be carried forward as a lifelong process. The text of the Ottawa Charter for action to achieve health for all by the year 2000 and beyond, agreed at the first International Conference on Health Promotion in 1986, is included, as it forms the basis for this strategy. |
