Enabling Age-Friendly Retail Environments for Healthy Ageing

老年人能够在没有帮助的情况下在超市找到新鲜农产品的能力与他们的精神和身体能力以及他们与环境、环境系统和服务的互动方式有关。他们是老年人不能独立购物的主要原因，也是他们被排斥和愤怒的原因。这个项目调查老年人的能力如何与超市建筑等环境中的系统和服务相互作用。了解这些相互作用是健康老龄化的关键。尊严和包容性在帮助老年人保持活跃、多产、独立和社会联系方面尤为重要，它们缩小了最富有和最贫穷人群的经历之间的差距。该项目将评估老年人的能力如何与现实世界的超市互动，并使用框架输出的数据来开发和测试解决方案。目前还没有解决这些能力丧失的办法，希望项目产出将有助于开发新的产品和服务，使老年人能够以包容和有尊严的方式成为独立的超市购物者。

Capabilities that enable older people to find fresh produce in a supermarket without help is linked to their mental and physical ability and how they interact with the environment, its systems and services. They are the major reason why older people are not able to shop independently and the cause of their exclusion and indignity.This project investigates how the capabilities of older people interact with systems and services in environments such as supermarket buildings. Understanding these interactions is key to healthy ageing. Dignity and inclusion are particularly important in helping older people remain active, productive, independent and socially connected and they narrow the gap between the experiences of the richest and the poorest.This project will assess how the capabilities of older people interact with a real-world supermarket and use data output from the framework to develop and test the solution. There are currently no solutions for loss of these capabilities and it is hoped the projects output will help develop new products and services that enable older people become independent supermarket shoppers in an inclusive and dignified way.
