Summary/Abstract: By the progress in diagnostics and therapy in up-to-date medicine, the length of life becomes prolonged; hence, the Republic of Croatia belongs to countries with very old population. According to the data from the Croatian Bureau of Statistics, the share of the population over 65 years of age in Croatia is 17.7 %, whereby our country “fits well” into the average of the European Union, where 17.5 % of the population belongs to this age group. By aging, the frequency of developing cardiovascular and malign diseases grows; however, a change in the life style may prevent this from happening. The paper presents the newest knowledge in the “anti-aging” medicine, the scientifically substantiated proof of its impact on maintaining health, and the possibilities for its implementation locally, adapted to the situation in the Bjelovar-Bilogora Country.
