Tool Description |
The Active Aging Toolkit has been developed as a collaborate effort of the Blueprint, professional organizations, and private industry as an evidence-based and an easy-to-instruct program for health care providers to educate their patients on increasing physical activity. Because physical activity is known to be essential in the prevention and management of chronic diseases, health care providers are the most important motivators for older adults to begin physical activity programs.
