RESTART Project Q&A: Empowering healthy aging

Abstract

In this Q&A, a team from the RESTART project explores their groundbreaking intervention model designed to empower people to embrace healthier lifestyles as they near retirement. The RESTART Project exemplifies the proactive approach public health initiatives can take to address health risks associated with ageing populations; what else can we learn? The inspiration for RESTART came from the Tromsø Study, an ongoing population study in Tromsø, Norway. The study revealed a concerning trend: a significant rise in overweight and obesity among participants aged 40 and over.
