这种对焦点群体的定性分析描述了社区设计如何鼓励积极老龄化。在2002年和2003年对居住在美国俄勒冈州波特兰的55岁及以上的居民（N = 60）进行了9个焦点小组。内容分析显示，当地购物和服务、交通和行人基础设施、社区吸引力和公共交通影响老年人的活动。这些信息将有助于制定与土地使用规划和交通有关的政策建议，协助老年人友好的发展和社区改善，并设计有效的老年人健康干预措施，重点是社区设计的影响。(c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd版权所有。
This qualitative analysis of focus groups describes how neighborhood design encourages active aging. Nine focus groups were conducted in 2002 and 2003 with residents (N = 60) aged 55 and over living in Portland, OR, USA. Content analysis revealed that local shopping and services, traffic and pedestrian infrastructure, neighborhood attractiveness, and public transportation influence activity among older adults. This information will be useful for making policy recommendations relating to land use planning and transportation, to assist in senior-friendly developments and neighborhood improvements, and to design effective senior health interventions with an emphasis on neighborhood design influences.
