PRECISE Moments: An active everyday life and how we can promote health and prevent frailty among older people

The project explored how everyday activities, mobility and living environments interact to affect the health and wellbeing of older people. By examining a wide range of factors and using several new measurement tools, we have gained new insights into what supports an active everyday life.

During the event, we will share our most important findings and reflect together on how this knowledge can be put into practice to improve health, prevent frailty and create the conditions for active ageing.

We would also like to discuss how the findings can benefit services, organisations and community planning.

Please note that the presentation will be held in Swedish. However, Teams offers the option to translate it into other languages.
