Examining the Influence of Neighborhood Factors on Older Adult Health in a Developing Country
AbstractThe aging population in Malaysia needs the development of age-friendly neighborhoods to support healthy aging. This study examined the neighborhood variables affecting the quality of life related to health among older adults through a questionnaire survey of 254 participants in Klang Valley, Malaysia. Significant determinants included accessibility, safety from crime, environmental quality, and addressing neighborhood problems. Additionally, the presence of third places, such as shopping centers and cultural/educational institutions, was found to promote health among older adults. The findings indicated that policymakers and developers should develop age-friendly neighborhoods that could effectively support aging in place for older adults.Keywords: Age-friendly citieshealth outcomesMalaysianeighborhood environmental determinants Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).
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.
