About This Image
The theme of this
issue of Preventing Chronic Disease is healthy aging. The image of
the couple gazing at the stars reflects the opportunities for discovering
new interests and hobbies at any stage in life. The couple looking up at
the stars suggests looking back on memories of their years together and at
the same time enjoying a new interest and looking ahead to the future. The
media often promotes images of older adults engaging in highly
demanding physical activities as a way to encourage the possibilities of an
active lifestyle. While physical activity is an essential component of
health, companionship, intellectual growth, and maintaining balance are
equally important to well-being. This image is a realistic portrayal of healthy pursuits
for older adults that includes shared moments of serenity, exploration, and
contemplation.
