Italy is the European country with the highest number of citizens over the age of sixty. In recent years, the unsustainability of the social security system has forced the Italian government to raise the retirement age and reduce the chances of early exit, thus sharply increasing the age of the workforce. Consequently, a significant proportion of older workers are currently obliged to do jobs that were designed for young people. Systematic health promotion intervention for older workers is therefore essential.
The European Pro Health 65+ project aims at selecting and validating best practices for successful/active aging. In this context we set out to review workplace health promotion projects carried out in Italy.
To ascertain examples of workplace health promotion for older workers (WHPOW), we carried out a review of the scientific and grey literature together with a survey of companies.
We detected 102 WHPOW research studies conducted in conjunction with supranational organizations, public institutions, companies, social partners, NGOs and educational institutions. The main objectives of the WHPOW were to improve the work environment, the qualifications of older workers and attitudes towards the elderly, and, in many cases, also to improve work organization.
The best way to promote effective WHPOW interventions is by disseminating awareness of best practices and correct methods of analysis. Our study suggests ways of enhancing WHPOW at both a national and European level.
意大利是欧洲60岁以上公民数量最多的国家。近年来，社会保障体系的不可持续性迫使意大利政府提高退休年龄并减少提前退休的机会，从而大幅提高了劳动力的年龄。因此，目前相当一部分老年工人不得不从事为年轻人设计的工作。因此，对老年工人进行系统的健康促进干预至关重要。
欧洲“65岁以上健康促进”项目旨在挑选并验证成功/积极老龄化的最佳实践。在此背景下，我们着手回顾在意大利开展的工作场所健康促进项目。
为确定针对老年工人的工作场所健康促进（WHPOW）的实例，我们对科学文献和灰色文献进行了回顾，并对公司进行了调查。
我们发现了102项与超国家组织、公共机构、公司、社会伙伴、非政府组织和教育机构联合开展的WHPOW研究。WHPOW的主要目标是改善工作环境、提高老年工人的资质以及对老年人的态度，并且在许多情况下还改善工作组织。
推广有效的WHPOW干预措施的最佳方法是传播对最佳实践和正确分析方法的认识。我们的研究提出了在国家和欧洲层面加强WHPOW的方法。
