[Health promotion for the elderly: results of the"HealthPROelderly" study].
In recent years, health promotion for the elderly has become increasingly important in Europe. Within the recently completed EU project"HealthPROelderly", 16 guidelines for health promotion for the elderly and recommendations for implementing these guidelines have been developed. The guidelines and recommendations are aimed equally at politicians, practitioners, the elderly themselves, and other relevant decision-makers in Europe. This article presents the project and six selected guidelines which are of special importance for health promotion at the local level.
