title: [Active Health Promotion among the Aged--Transfer of a Programme from an Urban to a Rural Area].
abstract: The objective of the programme "active health promotion in old age" is to improve physical activity, healthy nutrition and the social integration of older people. The intervention has been successfully implemented in an urban setting and was then transferred to a rural area. Although the rural area has a major impact on recruitment, access, and factors of implementation, results demonstrate that overall the intervention was implemented successfully. Moreover, structural conditions (e.g., availability of fitness clubs) are essential for a successful transfer.
