In this area , there are examples of good and moderate quality studies which confirm the cost-effectiveness of diverse physical activity interventions in fall prevention .
Background Healthy ageing and health promotion ( HP ) actions for older people have become an important health sector priority .
At the same time , the application of economic evaluation methods in the field of health interventions in order to support allocative decision processes is of growing importance .
The aims of the review were to analyze what the existing evidence is on cost-effectiveness of HP and /or primary prevention ( PP ) programmes for older people whilst providing deeper insight into method ological aspects of such studies , their overall quality and issues related to practical implementation of results .
