Abstract
Abstract Aging-in-Community (AIC) has been the preferred way to aging. However, there is a mismatch between the communities' design and the needs of older adults. With the rapidly growing aging population globally, it is urgent to create a community environment that is constructive for older adults aging in the community. There have been limited scholars investigating the theoretical and conceptual mechanisms behind how the environment encourages or hinders older adults' AIC. This paper reviewed existing environment-related aging theories, aiming to clarify the AIC mechanisms to achieve person–environment (P–E) fit. Two conceptual frameworks were developed to help visualize the mechanisms of P–E fit and P–E misfit processes.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
