Healthy Ageing

On Healthy Ageing, you will find information – ranging from scientific articles to campaigns and other texts – to help you lead an active and healthy life.

According to the World Health Organisation, the term ‘active’ refers to ongoing participation in social, economic, cultural, spiritual and civic life; in other words, it goes far beyond the ability to be physically and professionally active. Active ageing is defined as the process of maximising opportunities for health, participation and security, to improve quality of life as people grow older.
