One of the most pressing questions facing society today is how to
care for its burgeoning elderly population. By the year 2050,
experts predict that one-third of the world's population will be
over 60 years old. Health promotion for the elderly is therefore
becoming an increasingly important topic in public policy and
planning. This book examines the challenges presented by an ageing
global population, our varying expectations of healthy ageing, and
the importance of exercise and physical activity for the elderly.
Drawing on empirical research from around the world, it considers
the factors that influence health and well-being in later life and
compares practices and policies designed to promote healthy ageing.
It presents case studies from 15 countries spanning Europe, North
and South America, Africa and Asia, and sheds light on how
attitudes to physical activity differ across nations, regions and
cultures. Ageing, Physical Activity and Health: International
Perspectives is important reading for all students, researchers and
practitioners with an interest in physical activity, public health,
exercise science or gerontology.
