This study explores motivators, facilitators, and barriers to healthy aging among LSP-older adults to better address their needs and inform intervention development. A qualitative study was conducted in five Dutch neighborhoods differing in socioeconomic position and urbanization levels. Semi-structured interviews were held with 37 community-dwelling older adults, and thematic analysis was applied. Key motivators included social connectedness, preserving health and mobility, and maintaining independence, which seemed to be interconnected and mutually reinforcing factors. Facilitators and barriers were categorized into individual, communal and institutional, and societal levels, encompassing health limitations, personality traits, neighborhood relationships and resources, and the impact of modern-day individualism and digitization. Differences between urban and rural participants underscored the need for localized approaches.
