Item Four Types of Gerontological Education in Poland: the Current Situation and Needs for Future(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2017) Szarota, Zofia; Perek-Białas, JolantaAn increased interest in gerontological (old age) education has been recently observed in Poland. It is moreover claimed that this discipline has undergone a rapid development. This observation is particularly true in the context of the Universities of Third Age (U3A) movement. In this paper, we would like to revise current concepts, developed for the purpose of gerontological education, and then contribute to the overall discussion to stress that there is a need to include all education-oriented activities related to old age and ageing in various aspects as one integrated theoretical concept. We would like to address this topic in a holistic manner. However, we aim to connect the aspect of the recent development of old age-focused educational activities carried out in Poland with some data that has not been published before. This will provide an option to understand the development of education of these concepts in Poland as well as help to identify the drawbacks of this process. We will contribute an in-depth evaluation of this process in Poland and outline future needs which have to be met to use all opportunities to prepare both the present and future society for the rapid ageing of Poland’s population.Item Rewitalizacja jako zadanie rozwojowe(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2017) Błajet, PiotrThe article focuses on healthy longevity. The starting point is the assumption that a long and healthy life, much as it is genetically– and environmentally-dependent, is likewise related to one’s lifestyle. The text tries to indicate which elements of the lifestyle contribute to healthy longevity. To this end, the article reviews approaches and theoretical concepts on healthy ageing and provides empirical data gathered in longevity zones worldwide, called the Blue Zones by National Geographic researchers. Analysis confirmedK. Wisniewska-Roszkowska’s observations that a long and healthy life depends on a proper diet, physical activity and care for mental health. The author has suggested that the obe-sity index should be an indicator of ageing pathology.
