In response to an aging population and the accelerated transition from a disease-centered approach to a people's health-centered approach, proactive health has become an essential component of China's future health security system. Sports are a significant part of the proactive health strategy. Using Citespace 6.2.2 visualization analysis software, 211 effective documents were visually analyzed. It is believed that the focal points for implementing the "proactive health" strategy include: 1. Insisting on "moving the focus upstream" to curb diseases at their budding stage; 2. Dialectically viewing the aging population, regarding the elderly from a "positive perspective"; 3. Creating a proactive health environment and improve the proactive health security system; 4. Popularizing health knowledge scientifically, promoting the health literacy and health behaviors of the elderly.

Abstract

In response to an aging population and the accelerated transition from a disease-centered approach to a people's health-centered approach, proactive health has become an essential component of China's future health security system. Sports are a significant part of the proactive health strategy. Using Citespace 6.2.2 visualization analysis software, 211 effective documents were visually analyzed. It is believed that the focal points for implementing the "proactive health" strategy include: 1. Insisting on "moving the focus upstream" to curb diseases at their budding stage; 2. Dialectically viewing the aging population, regarding the elderly from a "positive perspective"; 3. Creating a proactive health environment and improve the proactive health security system; 4. Popularizing health knowledge scientifically, promoting the health literacy and health behaviors of the elderly.
