[Study on the establishment of regional healthy aging promotion index]
1Division of Non-communicable Diseases and Elderly Health Management, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Beijing 102206, China.
Abstract:
Objective: To establish an index that can reflect the level of healthy aging promotion in a region. Methods: Establish an indicators system using expert consultation and then determine the weight for each indicator using the analytic hierarchy process. Finally, we can get the regional healthy aging promotion index. Results: Regional healthy aging promotion indicator system was established, including five first-level indicators (residence environment, medical service, public health, nurse and care, and supporting system) and 21 second-level indicators. The weight of every level-one indicator ranges from 0.073 to 0.346. Two indicators with the highest weight are residence environment and public health (0.346 and 0.325, respectively), while the indicator with the lowest weight is nurse and care (0.073). The importance of every level-two indicator ranges from 0.011 to 0.162. The consistency ratio of the regional healthy aging promotion index is 0.021, and the consistency test is qualified. Conclusion: Regional healthy aging promotion index established in this study is very scientific, reasonable, and applicable. It can be used to evaluate the region's situation or level of healthy aging promotion.
