Keep a Healthy and
Active Lifestyle
“Keep a Healthy and Active Lifestyle” section contains resources pertaining to three domains of an age-friendly city, including “Community support & health services”, “Civic participation & employment” and “Social participation”. An age-friendly community supports active ageing by providing services and opportunities to keep seniors healthy, independent and integrated in society, such as through social and recreational activities, voluntary work and paid employment.
Elderly people can integrate in the society through volunteering and live an active and meaningful later life.
