Introduction: Population aging is a global problem. Cuba is no stranger to this phenomenon, being the country in Latin America and the Caribbean with the oldest population. It is one of the greatest triumphs of the Cuban Revolution, but also one of its greatest challenges today.
Objective: To design a strategy to promote healthy behaviors in older adults.
Methods: The methodological design corresponds to a development study, whose product is a strategy for the promotion of healthy behaviors in the population studied, with an intersectoral approach that responds to the problems detected. At the author's convenience, a study group of 66 older adults, of both sexes, was taken.
Results: The initial diagnosis of health behaviors, the perception of well-being and quality of life of a group of older adults, allowed the design of the promotion strategy for the development of healthy health behaviors of the studied population, with an educational approach. It is structured in three stages: awareness, sensitization and exploratory diagnosis of the community. The instrumentation and evaluation of the strategy was carried out, all with their respective actions.
Conclusions: The initial diagnosis of health behaviors, the perception of well-being and quality of life of a group of older adults allowed designing the promotion strategy for the development of healthy health behaviors of the population studied with an educational approach.
