(5) The growing proportion of older people in Europe and the consequent increase in chronic conditions makes it more important than ever to promote healthy ageing and develop initiatives to counter health risks associated with the ageing process, such as malnutrition. Healthy ageing can help raise labour market participation of older people, enable them to be active in society for longer, improve their individual quality of life and curb the strains on health and social care systems.
