Health promotion for older people: all is not well

T Hickey and DL Stilwell
Department of Health Behavior and Health Education, School of Public Health, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor 48109-2029.

The changing nature of disease risks and functional health status with aging suggests the need to focus health promotion efforts in the older population where they will be most effective in reducing morbidity, mortality, and disability. However, there is little consensus in the literature regarding the efficacy of various health promotion practices and the appropriate target groups within a diverse older population. Careful research on and thoughtful application of findings to this older population are needed to ensure the effective use of limited health promotion resources.
