Promoting healthy ageing requires integrated, multicomponent interventions focusing on physical, nutritional, and cognitive health. More research is needed on life-course and policy interventions to support global ageing populations.
Area of Science:
- Gerontology and Public Health
- Intervention Science
Background:
- Global population aging presents significant challenges, especially in low- and middle-income countries.
- The World Health Organization (WHO) defines healthy ageing as maintaining functional ability through intrinsic capacity and environmental interactions.
- This definition emphasizes functional capacity over the mere absence of disease.
Conclusions:
- Integrative, multicomponent, and culturally adapted interventions are most effective for promoting healthy ageing.
- Future research should prioritize life-course approaches and long-term, well-powered studies.
- Findings can inform the development of equitable and effective ageing policies.
