Healthy aging long has been held as a core belief and priority of geriatrics, yet clinical, scholarly, and advocacy efforts have not kept pace with attention to multimorbidity and end-of-life care. With an aging US population and trends toward higher rates of lifestyle diseases, there is imperative for geriatricians to engage in efforts to promote healthy aging. Lifestyle medicine offers an evidence-based approach to healthy aging at any point in the life span. This emerging branch of medical practice has synergistic principles and frameworks with the field of geriatrics, which should further empower geriatricians to engage in promoting healthy aging.
健康老龄化一直是老年医学的核心信念和优先事项，但临床、学术和宣传工作并没有跟上对多病共存和临终关怀的关注。随着美国人口老龄化和生活方式疾病发病率上升的趋势，老年病医生必须积极参与促进健康老龄化的工作。生活方式医学为在生命的任何阶段实现健康老龄化提供了循证方法。这一新兴的医学实践分支与老年医学具有协同的原则和框架，这应该进一步增强老年病医生参与促进健康老龄化的能力。
