| Annotation | The potential of holistic health promotion for enhancing older people's positive health status is highlighted. Contributions in Part 1 set the scene for health promotional activities, including: health-related behaviour, inequalities and barriers to healthy lifestyles; intergenerational health promotion and active citizenship; lifeskills; and the nature of holism. Part 2 focuses on practical issues: productive ageing, which explores the relationship between human productivity and health status; sexuality in later life; developing fall prevention strategies in a primary care setting; working with grief and loss; health promotion in residential settings; and travel health.
