avje starostnikov | health of the elderly 98 overweight, with a slightly worse situation in Slovenia, which also means high-
er risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and all the
consequences associated with it. It is known that aging reduces muscle mass
and increases body fat (Gariballa, 2011). In current generations, older individ-
uals have a higher body mass index than the younger ones, which is due to a
more sedentary lifestyle (Krueger et al., 2004).
Conclusion
It is necessary to educate and encourage older people to remain independent
for as long as possible, despite their functional limitations as the physical activ-
ity of the elderly is insufficient. However, much remains to be done by design-
ing state policies and health systems around the world to address this problem.
By ensuring appropriate conditions for a high quality of life, adequate health-
care, economic well-being, social inclusion and health education in the same
way for all people it is possible to reduce chronic non-communicable diseases
and related problems.
