Book Summary
Morbidity Prevention in Aging: The Role of Salutogenesis Amidst Crises addresses the urgent need to rethink disease prevention strategies for an aging population. The book begins by exploring how age-friendly environments support health-seeking behaviors. The next section focuses on developing personal skills such as resilience and self-efficacy for maintaining health during crises. Section III examines the reorientation of health services to support preventive care, including community care and diet promotion, while Section IV addresses the creation of policies that facilitate health-promoting interventions and integrate prevention strategies. Community engagement and empowerment in promoting health is emphasized in the fifth section.
