Abstract: Against the backdrop of the accelerating global aging process, enhancing the health of the elderly and improving their quality of life through health promotion efforts has become an urgent social issue. The construction and practical innovation of the elderly health promotion system have become a focal point of public health. This article reviews relevant policies and practical experiences in health promotion for the elderly both domestically and internationally by searching for literature published from January 2000 to January 2025. By comparing and analyzing the practical differences between developed countries/regions and China, it proposed suggestions for building a cross-departmental collaborative service system, innovating health literacy improvement models, implementing mental health promotion projects, and launching nursing talent training programs. These suggestions aim to provide references for improving health promotion work for the elderly in China.
