History of Active Aging Consortium Asia Pacific (ACAP):
The policy framework for Active Aging developed during the 2002 Madrid World Congress on Aging which serves as a foundation for our work. Active Aging Consortium Asia Pacific (ACAP) supports countries and community representatives to increase awareness of Active Aging through lectures, conferences and training. ACAP contributes to global exchange of Active Aging ideas through its website, national and international conferences as well as by collaborating on project of mutual interest. ACAP’s mission is to provide a forum in Asia Pacific for the sharing of research, policy ideas and best practices for Active Aging. To fulfill ACAP’s mission, members work with government agencies, academic institutions, businesses, service providers, volunteer organizations, older adults, students, and others in their home countries to sponsor Active Aging conferences. The group’s founder and the first president was Dr. Takeo Ogawa, a professor at Kumamoto University and the president of AABC (Asia Aging Business Center). Currently, Dr. Kathryn Braun, a professor at Hawaii University, is the president of the ACAP.
The Busan Anti-Aging Expo supports health promotion and longevity through;
- Social Participation
- Health Promotion, and
- Safety concepts
Anti- Aging requires a partnership between individuals, who must prepare for a long life by making good lifestyle choices, and social policy, which must help make the “right” choices the “easy” choices.
Anti – Aging traditionally has referred to medical treatments that can reverse or stop the evidence of aging. Until now, the Anti Aging concept has been considered to be for the elite, who could afford these age-reversing treatments. However, a new concept of Anti-Aging is emerging which involves foods and treatments that can help optimize aging that can be available to all citizens, rich and poor. Hence, this conference’s subject was selected to orient citizens to the concept of Anti Aging.
The goal of citizens’ orientation to Anti Aging is to broaden the understanding of the concept and reality of Anti-Aging among Korean citizens. The orientation will involve discussions led by prominent professors and professionals from a multidisciplinary background related to Active Aging.
