Abstract

The Age-Friendly Cities and Communities Questionnaire (AFCCQ) is a tool for assessing and contributing to improving the urban living conditions of older citizens. The objective of this research is to validate the AFCCQ for Portugal's language and culture (AFCCQ-PT). The psychometric validation was conducted through a quantitative, cross-sectional study with a sample of 242 participants, living in Coimbra. Confirmatory Factor Analysis supported a nine-factor structure for the AFCCQ-PT and demonstrated strong internal consistency. Coimbra performed best on Housing accessibility and worst on Outdoor spaces and buildings. The AFCCQ-PT is a reliable and valid tool, useful for urban planning and social policy-making.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Aging & Social Policy offers a platform for insightful contributions from an international and interdisciplinary group of policy analysts and scholars. It provides an in-depth examination and analysis of critical phenomena that impact aging and the development and implementation of programs for the elderly from a global perspective, with a broad scope that encompasses not only the United States but also regions including Europe, the Middle East, Australia, Latin America, Asia, and the Asia-Pacific rim. The journal regularly addresses a wide array of issues such as long-term services and supports, home- and community-based care, nursing-home care, assisted living, long-term care financing, financial security, employment and training, public and private pension coverage, housing, transportation, health care access, financing, and quality, family dynamics, and retirement. These topics are of significant importance to the field of aging and social policy, reflecting the journal's commitment to presenting a comprehensive view of the challenges and solutions related to aging populations around the world.
