About

The World Health Organisation's Decade of Healthy Ageing is underway. Discover how we can enjoy prolonged years of good health with Healthy Ageing - Concepts, Interventions, and Preparing for the Future at University of Birmingham by FutureLearn.

Overview

Life expectancy is increasing. In the UK, the average person now lives to the age of 81, up from 77 in 2000.

This increase in lifespan has not been matched, however, with an increase in ‘healthspan’ – years of healthy, independent life. Many older adults suffer from increased frailty, and other common health problems.

Key facts:

This healthcare course from the University of Birmingham addresses current challenges and opportunities related to healthy ageing.

On Healthy Ageing - Concepts, Interventions, and Preparing for the Future at University of Birmingham by FutureLearn, you will learn how to assess frailty, and explore measures to slow its onset. We will also look at current physical activity guidelines and debunk myths and correct misunderstandings about nutrition in older age.
