The number of elderly people in Korea is rapidly increasing to advance an aging society. Dementia causes many problems in the aging society but older people usually do not receive effective dementia prevention services because of their low economic power. For the elderly who are experiencing low dental clinic visits due to lack of economic power and education, various services have been developed through the web to help prevent oral healthcare and dementia of the elderly, and a web system has been developed to help oral healthcare and dementia of the elderly. This web system was developed based on the research result that if activating cognitive-behavioral function by strengthening chewing function and oral muscle function exercise of elderly people can prevent dementia or slow dementia progression and it is composed of content utilization module and oral healthcare diagnosis module. PHP 7.1.6, CSS, Notepad++, Bootstrap, Filezilla, and others were used to develop the web system. XAMPP 3.2.2, PHP 7.1.6, Apache2.4.25, and Mysqlnd 5.0.12 were used to build the server for the content service. In the long run, this development will reduce the social costs that government offices use to prevent dementia and to treat and maintain oral healthcare

An additional source of data were the websites of the Central Statistical Office. Strictly defined key phrases were used during the collection of literature. The work has been divided into thematic subsections on the aging of the society, the impact of physical activity on health and the main topic, i.e. forms of physical activity selected by the elderly. Analysis of the literature. The number of elderly people in Polish society has increased by almost 3.7 million over three decades. Therefore, an important topic is prophylaxis aimed at increasing the number of days in good health, largely covering the broadly understood activation of the elderly. The available data indicate that only 12% of elderly people undertake physical activity once a week. The most common form of spending free time actively is walking (as many as 73% of people in this population declare this form of physical activity in one of the presented studies). Conclusion. Organized forms of physical activity are undertaken much less frequently by the analyzed age group mainly due to financial limitations and limited availability of sports infrastructure.
