Abstract
Description
The National Positive Ageing Strategy outlines a vision for ageing in Ireland, where people are supported
and enabled to enjoy physical and mental health and wellbeing to their full potential as they grow older.
The strategy recognises that healthy ageing is not solely a health issue, but rather a set of interconnected
factors, including social, economic and environmental factors, that all influence health and wellbeing.
The focus on positive ageing aims to change the narrative of ageing away from one focused on decline
towards one that highlights the contributions of older people to society and that sees later years as
a time of new opportunities.
