[Health promotion in the 2nd half of life. A modular concept for public health insurance patients: the preventive program "healthy aging"].
A modular concept for persons members of health insurances: the prevention programme entitled becoming old and remaining healthy. Prevention is sensible in the second half of the life span. In these later years, key objectives include such concrete classical themes like nutrition and mobility as well as prevention of falls and psychosocial support for family care providers. Such prevention requires a multi-step procedure if the goal of a self-determination in health behavior is to be reached. The prevention programme "Becoming Old and Remaining Healthy", an example of such a concept, is presented in this article. Selected components of these programme should give an impression how psychological and educational approaches can be used to help students understand the health implications of their own life circumstances. This paper is to familiarize the reader with the basic concept of prevention and health promotion.
