摘要

摘要由于马来西亚人口老龄化速度很快，而且没有专门针对老年人的住房政策，因此社区满足老年人积极老龄化的不同需求以保持他们的生活质量至关重要。本研究旨在调查社区环境变量、主动衰老的结果以及抑制老年人主动衰老并提高其生活质量的潜在变量。它研究了生活质量的决定因素，这些决定因素受到某些社区特征的影响。在这项研究中，对居住在马来西亚两个不同城市的385名60岁以上的老年人进行了调查。多元回归被用来探索活跃老化变量的方差有多大，邻域环境因素作为一个群体来解释。研究结果表明，步行的渗透性、可及性和促进因素是主动衰老的关键决定因素。有必要针对这三个因素改进社区的物理设计。

Evaluating Potential Environmental Variables and Active Aging in Older Adults for Age-Friendly Neighborhoods in Malaysia

ABSTRACT As Malaysia's population is aging rapidly, and since there is no specific housing policy for the elderly, it is vital that neighborhoods meet the different needs of elderly for active aging to maintain their quality of life. This study aims to investigate the neighborhood environmental variables, the outcome active aging, and potential variables that inhibit active aging in the elderly that lead to their quality of life. It examined quality-of-life determinants that are influenced by the existence of certain neighborhood characteristics. In the study, 385 older adults aged 60+ years residing in two different cities in Malaysia were surveyed. Multiple regression was used to explore how much variance in active aging variables the neighborhood environmental factors explained as a group. The results showed that permeability, accessibility, and facilitators to walking are key determinants of active aging. There is a need to improve the physical design of the neighborhoods with regard to these three factors.

期刊介绍： Housing is more than houses-it is the foundation upon which the essentials of life are anchored. The quality of housing can enhance or diminish the well-being of individuals and families as well as that of the entire community. Before the Journal of Housing for the Elderly, housing for the elderly as a subject area has a relatively brief history. The Journal of Housing for the Elderly aims to serve the needs of gerontological professionals in the fields of architecture and housing, urban planning, and public policy who are responsible for the residential environments of the elderly in the community.
