title: [Workplace health promotion among elderly employees in Germany. Results in the IAB establishment panel 2011].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The aim of the secondary analysis is the exploration of the prevalence and determinants of workplace health promotion among elderly employees.
  
  
  METHODS
  The Institute for Employment Research (IAB) establishment panel is an annual representative survey of employers. In 2011 a total of 13,378 establishments with at least 1 elderly employee (50 + years) participated in personal interviews.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In 2011, 4 % of the establishments in Eastern and Western Germany included measures for workplace health promotion among employees aged 50 years and older, which were often associated with personnel measures among the elderly. The prevalence of workplace health promotion varies considerably among the sectors of industry and the Federal States and substantially increases with the size of the establishment. Establishments with a works council are disproportionally highly committed to workplace health promotion among the elderly employees.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There is a large development potential for a better integration of workplace health promotion among elderly employees in personnel and enterprise strategies.
