Neighborhood-Built Environment and Ageism in Later Life

On Fung Chan et al.

Summary: Ageism is a global challenge and the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated this issue. This study examined the association between the neighborhood-built environment and ageism, and found that more parks were associated with a lower level of ageism, particularly in low-income or low-education areas. Conversely, more libraries in high-income areas were associated with a lower level of ageism. These findings provide insights for urban planners and policymakers to reduce ageism and improve the lives of older people.

Evidence on the Bidirectional Relationship Between Health and Life Satisfaction in Older Adults

Dario Moreno-Agostino et al.

Summary: Older adults' health and life satisfaction are not bidirectionally related, with only health predicting better life satisfaction over time. Policies focusing on health enhancement and maintenance may be fruitful in fostering older adults' life satisfaction, whereas the opposite may not.

The contribution of alternative types of care on life satisfaction among disabled older persons in China

Hongli Fan et al.

Summary: This article examines the effects of different care types on the life satisfaction of disabled older adults in China using data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey. The results show that informal care has a significant positive impact on life satisfaction, particularly for mildly disabled individuals, men, and rural residents. The main channels through which care types affect life satisfaction are reduced loneliness and unhappiness, increased participation in social activities, and improved physical health.

Ageism towards older and younger people in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak

Perla Werner et al.

Summary: The study found that participants reported a relatively low level of COVID-19 ageism towards older people but a significantly higher level of COVID-19 ageism towards younger people. Negative age stereotypes were the most important determinants of both types of ageism, while sociodemographic variables were significant determinants only for COVID-19 ageism towards older people.

Urban greenery mitigates the negative effect of urban density on older adults' life satisfaction: Evidence from Shanghai, China

Dongsheng He et al.

Summary: The influence of high-density environment on urban residents is controversial, but urban greenery may mitigate the detrimental effects of crowded environments on quality of life. This study examined the complex relationship between urban density, urban greenery, and older people's life satisfaction, using survey data collected from 1,594 older adults in 129 neighborhoods in Shanghai, China. The results showed that higher urban density was related to lower life satisfaction, and a reduced sense of community was a significant pathway between higher urban density and lower life satisfaction. Furthermore, eye-level greenery cushioned the negative effect of urban density on life satisfaction.

Non-linear association between residential greenness and general health among old adults in China

Baishi Huang et al.

Summary: This study examined the association between residential greenness and self-rated general health (SGH) of older adults in China. Higher residential greenness was found to be positively associated with good health, with an inverted U-shaped relationship. The association was stronger for older adults living in urban areas, females, older age groups, singles or divorced or widowed individuals, those with lower education levels, and those living in households with higher car value. Greenness was also found to mitigate the adverse effects of air pollution and outdoor light pollution on older adults' health.

Objective and perceived built environment, sense of community, and mental wellbeing in older adults in Hong Kong: A multilevel structural equation study

Yingqi Guo et al.

Summary: The study findings suggest that perceived built environment and sense of community influence the relationship between residential density and subjective wellbeing, while a U-shaped relationship was found between street connectivity and mental health. Park-based green space and land use mix have positive effects on mental health and subjective wellbeing, with vegetation-based green space negatively impacting subjective wellbeing.

Longitudinal associations between neighbourhood physical environments and depressive symptoms of older adults in Hong Kong: The moderating effects of terrain slope and declining functional abilities

Yuqi Liu et al.

Summary: This study on 2081 older adults in Hong Kong found that the availability of community resources such as community centers and passive leisure facilities can reduce depressive symptoms over time. Additionally, the presence of green spaces around residential areas had different effects on depressive symptoms based on terrain slope types. Furthermore, the relationship between neighbourhood physical environments and depressive symptoms varied for older adults with and without functional limitations.

Care Preferences Among Chinese Older Adults with Daily Care Needs: Individual and Community Factors

Jiehua Lu et al.

Summary: With the modernization and demographic transition in China, family care functions have weakened, and state-based care has begun to play a role in supporting care for older adults. Research findings indicate that the care preferences of older people are influenced by individual and community factors, such as the number of children, education level, residential area, and values associated with filial piety.
