Geriatric medicine has focused primarily on the management of acute and chronic diseases in frail older persons, whilst recently much more

emphasis is given on the promotion of health and the prevention of age - related diseases.

Nowadays, a growing body of knowledge about disease prevention in later life, including important research, provides a valid basis for

strengthening efforts in preventive geriatrics.

The goal of preventive geriatrics is to nurture a state of somatic, mental and psychological health that allows maximal active life expectancy

while maintaining high levels of function.

The prevention of falls and osteoporosis can improve the patient’s health and longevity. Addressing malnutrition can promote healing and

vitalize the patient to participate in a formal rehabilitation program. Physical activities have a major contribution in better aging by acting in a

holistic way in the aging process.

Rehabilitation of geriatric patients is imperative for the patients’ well - being and for society, so that we can thrive socially and economically.

This 2 day Seminar, titled “Physical Activities, Nutrition and Quality of Aging” is planned to bring together all those concerned with aging and

interested in improving the care of the growing numbers of older adults in our communities, e .g physicians, nurses, occupational therapists,

physical therapists, and all professionals addressing the geriatric population.

The sessions, led by experts who have experience locally and internationally, will provide an environment for the interdisciplinary team to build

on requisite competencies as they provide care in all settings, to disseminate knowledge and to gain knowledge to utilize in practice.

Participants will thus have the opportunity to exchange ideas and promote their work, as well as to enrich their knowledge with results from

ongoing important research presented.

On behalf of the two Societies involved as well as of the Organising and Scientific Committee, we invite you to join the 4th International

Seminar on Preventive Geriatrics and 1st International Seminar on Geriatric Rehabilitation.

We hope each delegate leaves the Seminar not only more knowledgeable or proficient in the issues pertaining to geriatric care, but also goes

back home transformed when he or she sees his or her next elderly patient.

We look forward to seeing you in Athens.
