“对老年人友好”的提法显然引起了老龄问题领域的学者和主要专家的注意。引用该术语的PubMed参考文献检索在2006年至2011年的5年期间产生了15个结果;在2015年至2019年期间，这一数字增加到572个。这项工作主要由世界卫生组织牵头，发起了对老年人友好的城市和社区，现已引发了一场创建对老年人友好的卫生系统和公共卫生系统的运动。在这个流行病肆虐的时代，现在比以往任何时候都更应该创造一个生态系统，使每一项对老年人友好的举措都能随着人口的不断老龄化而产生协同作用和额外的动力。鉴于一系列国际方案和科学团体的重点是改善老年人的生活沿着护理和支持系统以及我们作为一个国际社会的相互联系，全球性的工作尤为重要。在这篇文章中，我们回顾了老年友好计划的历史演变，并描述了一个老年友好生态系统的愿景，该生态系统可以包括生活环境，健康的社会决定因素，医疗保健系统和我们以预防为重点的公共卫生系统。
The designation of "age friendly" has clearly engaged the attention of scholars and leading experts in the field of aging. A search of PubMed references citing the term produced 15 results in the 5-year period from 2006 to 2011; that number increased to 572 in the period from 2015 to 2019. The work, notably led by the World Health Organization with the initiation of age-friendly cities and age-friendly communities, has now sparked a movement for the creation of age-friendly health systems and age-friendly public health systems. Now more than ever, in an era of pandemics, it seems wise to create an ecosystem where each of the age-friendly initiatives can create synergies and additional momentum as the population continues to age. Work of a global nature is especially important given the array of international programs and scientific groups focused on improving the lives of older adults along with their care and support system and our interconnectedness as a world community. In this article, we review the historical evolution of age-friendly programs and describe a vision for an age-friendly ecosystem that can encompass the lived environment, social determinants of health, the healthcare system, and our prevention-focused public health system.
