Abstract: There should be a renewed focus on health promotion, as opposed to preventing disease. Health promotion campaigns should target those with a decreased awareness of their health needs, with improvement in health status being based on increasing this awareness. In an effort to develop more health-conscious attitudes and behaviors in older age, health promotion initiatives should also be marketed to pre-retirement aged individuals.
