Active ageing is the process of optimising opportunities for health, participation and security in order to enhance quality of life as people age.

It enables seniors to maintain an active lifestyle as well as to age with dignity and security as integral members of society.

Some of the ways by which seniors can achieve active ageing include:

• Enhancing physical well-being
• Widening social networks
• Remaining economically independent
• Staying mentally and emotionally healthy

Active ageing is a matter of choice and seniors have choices.
