Enabling environment: Modelling Well-being in Ageing

对老年人的传统看法强调失去和衰退的经历。然而，越来越多的工作对这种观点提出了质疑，认为这种观点不能充分解释老年人自己认为与幸福有关的经历。促进环境网络（老龄福祉建模）旨在发展专门知识，调查晚年健康和福祉的主要决定因素。为了实现这一目标，它将把从事老年人福利保健和社会护理研究的工作人员、一项为期25年的老龄化队列研究以及数学和统计模型聚集在一起。结果将是一项研究的研究建议，该研究将模拟和预测老年人的幸福感，更好地理解幸福感与社会和社区环境、心理智谋以及精神和身体健康的关系。

The traditional view of older people emphasises experiences of loss and decline. However, there is a growing body of work which challenges this view as an inadequate explanation for experiences which older people themselves identify as associated with well-being.The Network on Enabling Environments (Modelling Wellbeing in Ageing) aims to develop expertise to investigate major determinants of health and well-being in later life. It will achieve this by bringing together staff working on health and social care research into wellbeing of older people, a 25 year cohort study of ageing and mathematical and statistical models.The outcome will be a research proposal for a study that will model and predict well-being in older people, better understanding the relationship of wellbeing to social and community environments, to psychological resourcefulness, and to mental and physical health.
