Social Marketing in Prevention Actions

Physical Activity (PA) is recognized as the most effective method to prevent falls in the elderly. Yet despite there being a consensus now that Physical Activity (PA) is effective in practice, there remain many obstacles to participation and attendance resulting in Physical Activity (PA) approaches designed to prevent falls actually only benefiting a limited number of elderly subjects. Social marketing has already shown its utility in the construction of prevention programs.
