Health promotion for healthy ageing

Primary tabs

Van den Broucke, Stephan [UCL]

Ageing is one of the greatest health challenges in the 21st century. Europe has the highest percentage of people aged 65 or more in the world, and the EU population of people aged 80 and over (currently 3%) will triple over the next 50 years. These demographic changes will challenge healthcare systems and society itself. While life expectancy in the EU is amongst the highest in the world, additional years of life are not always years lived in good health. The burden of disease of elderly citizens in Europe is associated with lifestyle factors. The presentation will explore the role of Health Promotion in healthy ageing.
