Taking a unique look at health promotion and aging in Canada, this
edited collection uses the action framework in the Ottawa Charter
for Health Promotion to explore the factors and issues related to
the health of older adults. The book is organized around the five
action areas for health promotion: building healthy public policy,
creating supportive environments, strengthening community action,
developing personal skills, and reorienting health and social
services.Adhering to the holistic approach that health in older age
involves physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual
well-being, this comprehensive collection covers a wide range of
interventions that are designed to benefit and protect the aging
population's health, quality of life, rights, and dignity, while
building intergenerational solidarity and collaboration. Readers
will learn about aging from a health promotion perspective; the
context, environment, and issues related to older adults in Canada;
as well as best practices in health promotion, public health, and
the care of older adults. Promoting the Health of Older Adults is
an invaluable resource for both graduate and undergraduate students
in gerontology, health promotion, nursing, social work, and related
fields. FEATURES: Considers the implications of the COVID-19
pandemic for health promotion and aging Provides an up-to-date
