“Nearly four thousand elderly people assaulted in three months”. A sad reality reported by Jornal de Notícias.
The “Mobi-Age” project itself has already detected this problem during their interviews in the Ateneu day center. As the elderly are those who move more slowly and with less agility, they are easy targets for people with bad intentions, such as burglars. When an elderly person experiences a situation of this type, they begin to condition their mobility and independence a lot. These phenomena lead these elderly people to experience low levels of physical activity, reduced independence and high health risks.
Strengthening the mobility capacity of older people should be seen as an integral part of efforts to promote the overall development of society by contributing to a life of active aging by maintaining economic and social participation and quality of life.
