| description | (1) Background: Increasing life expectancy allows for more age-related health issues. Enhancing physical, cognitive, mental, and social health is crucial. Promoting healthy habits combats stress and diseases. Recommendation systems, like collaborative filtering, tailor suggestions but face challenges. Techniques such as artificial intelligence and machine learning are vital. Personalized health recommendations improve lifestyles and mitigate issues. (2) Methods: A systematic review adhering to the general principles of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses was conducted with the aim of identifying articles on innovative research about using recommendation algorithms, machine learning, or artificial intelligence to promote healthy habits and active aging. (3) Results: A total of 34 articles were included in this work. They address the topic of recommendation systems that use machine learning or artificial intelligence in the promotion of healthy habits. (4) Conclusions: This article reviews health-related activity recommendation techniques for the general population. With rising life expectancy and common health issues, effective recommendations are crucial for future public health. Limitations include excluding simpler models. Despite many proposals, systematic adherence mechanisms are lacking. Developing traceable, verifiable systems for healthy activity recommendations is vital for aging populations in developed countries. |
