ELAC Promoting Physical Activity Programs Presentation

For this modules assignment please do the following:

1. Review the CDC’s page titled: Promoting Health for Older Adults (Promoting Health for Older Adults | CDC)

• • Please note that it is also included as a PDF file in this module.

2. Then chose one of the featured steps to improve the health of older adults found below:

• Helping those with dementia remain active, independent, and involved in their community as long as possible.
• Providing resources to help caregivers stay healthy and deliver quality care to their care recipients.
• Increasing early assessment and diagnosis, risk reduction, and prevention and management of chronic diseases for people with or at risk for Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.
• Increasing the use of other clinical preventive services like blood pressure checks, cancer screenings, and blood sugar testing.
• Increasing the number of people who speak to a health care provider about their worsening memory.
• Providing CDC-recognized lifestyle change programs to Medicare beneficiaries through the National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.
• Promoting physical activity programs to reduce the risk of dementia, arthritis pain, and falls.

3. You will then create a pamphlet with four sections (or four slides or panels) about your chosen step. The purpose of this pamphlet is to promote your step of choice. Your pamphlet can be completed by hand (evidently it would need to be neat) and you can submit pictures of it, or you can proceed to complete it through other “more professional means.”

Your pamphlet can include any of the following (keep in mind that these are only ideas, please be creative)

• Colorful Images
• Important Statistics
• Information on Research Findings
• Ideas about costs and other financial considerations
• Suggestions about organizations that could help in the process
• Advantages of implementing your chosen step
