How to Promote Healthy Aging through Prevention
Toolbox Resource
Description
This video explores how prevention science applies across the lifespan, with a focus on healthy aging, emphasizing that prevention is relevant not only early in life but also throughout adulthood and later years. The discussion highlights strategies to prevent or delay chronic disease, functional decline, social isolation, caregiver burnout, and mental health challenges, while promoting health span, resilience, and quality of life among older adults and families. It also underscores the role of community–university partnerships and Extension systems in translating research into accessible, culturally responsive prevention efforts, including intergenerational and family-focused approaches.
