This handbook on health promotion addressed to older people, which is written for readers in European countries, should function as a training programme guideline for health promoters. The authors are aware that it is an excessively ambitious task in light of the relatively poor scientific state of affairs in the field of health promotion. This ambition may be justified to some extent by the experience of the writing team, who acquired a considerable capital of knowledge as a result of ‘Pro health 65+’ – the European project on health promotion addressed to elderly people and prevention of chronic diseases, which was carried out as a part of the second Health Programme of the European Union.
