Healthy ageing has been defined as the process of developing and maintaining the functional ability that enables well-being in older age. However, as people age, many will develop chronic diseases. Therefore, while life expectancy worldwide has been increasing, this does not necessarily result in a healthy full lifespan, with disability and ill-health often negatively affecting a person's end of life. This article examines the nursing skills required to support older people to live healthy lives against a backdrop of rising levels of chronic conditions. Nurses have a vital role in supporting health improvements in older people by providing targeted solutions such as lifestyle modifications, strengthened social networks and enhanced resilience.
健康老龄化是指发展和保持功能能力的过程，使老年人能够幸福生活。然而，随着人们年龄的增长，许多人会患上慢性疾病。因此，尽管全球的预期寿命一直在增加，但这并不一定意味着人们能够健康地度过整个生命周期，残疾和健康状况不佳往往会对人的生命末期产生负面影响。本文探讨了在慢性病发病率不断上升的背景下，护理人员支持老年人健康生活所需的护理技能。护士在通过提供有针对性的解决方案（如生活方式改变、加强社会网络和提高适应能力）来支持老年人改善健康方面发挥着至关重要的作用。
