Abstract
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.Keywords
