title: Health promotion in chronically ill older adults.
abstract: As the average life expectancy increases, older adults will be living longer with chronic illnesses. Health promotion is a multidimensional concept that applies to all individuals regardless of age of disability. As the needs of healthcare consumers change, neuroscience nurses are challenged to redefine health, aging, disability and health promotion. Strategies are needed to expand the knowledge base of health promotion including research, partnerships and communication.
