title: Exercise for the elderly.
abstract: Increased physical and mental activity has something to offer all people, including the elderly. The medical profession often regards 'geriatric' as a 'condition' instead of a person with special needs and abilities. The opportunity to promote better health to such people is available: we must aim to add life to years not years to life.
