Public health initiatives

Life-style related diseases prevented or reduced

The main objective of the project is to promote health among older residents of Zgornja Gorenjska region. The population is aging. In Zgornja Gorenjska region the number of people over 55, which is the target group of the project, has already reached one-third of the population. The main cause for the occurrence of chronic diseases, which reduce the number of healthy years despite the increasing life expectancy, is unhealthy lifestyle. The project takes a holistic approach to solving this problem. The Programme for maintenance of good health for the elderly will be developed and implemented in the form of education, training sessions and workshops. The project will provide the introduction of changes in the lifestyle of elderly on mental, physical and spiritual level. Participation of older people in the project will be based on an individual approach. The Programme for maintenance of good health for the elderly will be carried out at seven different locations, thereby ensuring easier access for the elderly. The project includes all municipalities, associations of pensioners, elderly care nursing homes and adult education organizations working in the Zgornja Gorenjska region.
