Abstract
Demographic changes and population aging have been recognized as key priorities to ensure global health and social care systems sustainability. The increase in life expectancy of individuals is a very positive achievement of modern societies, but people’s health in the last decades of life is highly at risk due to the burden of chronic diseases and multimorbidity. Therefore, providing innovative solutions to alleviate the burden of chronic diseases is a demanding need both for individuals and societies. A relevant percentage of chronic conditions in later life is associated with inadequate lifestyles adopted by individuals across the life cycle. Therefore, population education to support adoption of healthy lifestyles, across all ages, is the most immediate and effective way to support good health status of individuals in future generations. In the present chapter (chapter 2), we introduce regional collaborative innovation networks as originators and replicators of innovative good practices to support healthy living and active ageing – European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Aging Reference Sites.
