Maintaining health and independent living are high priorities for Australia’s rapidly expanding older population. This project capitalizes on two existing large-scale studies, to increase our scientific understanding of strategies for maintaining the health and wellbeing of older people living in the community. Two separate longitudinal research projects, the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health involving over 12,000 older women selected from every part of Australia, and the Health in Men Study involving over 12,000 older men from Perth, Western Australia, have been following older Australians in order to determine what contributes to older people’s health and quality of life. The new project will combine data from these two studies. The two projects contain a breadth of data and can address the following questions: What health-related, personal, lifestyle and social factors predict survival and healthy non-disabled life in men and women aged 70-90 years? Do changes in lifestyle in older age (eg smoking cessation) affect length and quality of life? Who makes greatest use of health services, and who least, and how does this relate to health outcomes?How are health and lifestyle factors related to social connectedness and independent living in older age? What health and lifestyle factors predict positive mental health in older age? How are older men’s and women’s lifestyles and health status different, and how are they the same? Should health promotion programs in old age target men and women separately, or not?

保持健康和独立生活是澳大利亚迅速扩大的老年人口的高度优先事项。该项目利用了两项现有的大规模研究，以增加我们对维持社区老年人健康和福祉策略的科学理解。两个独立的纵向研究项目，即澳大利亚妇女健康纵向研究，涉及从澳大利亚各地选出的12,000多名老年妇女，以及男性健康研究，涉及来自西澳大利亚珀斯的12,000多名老年男子，一直在跟踪澳大利亚老年人，以确定是什么促成了老年人的健康和生活质量。新项目将结合这两项研究的数据。这两个项目包含广泛的数据，可以解决以下问题：哪些与健康有关的、个人的、生活方式和社会因素可以预测70-90岁男女的生存和健康的非残疾生活？老年生活方式的改变（如戒烟）会影响寿命和生活质量吗？谁最大限度地利用卫生服务，谁最少利用卫生服务，这与健康结果有何关系？健康和生活方式因素与老年人的社会联系和独立生活有何关系？哪些健康和生活方式因素可以预测老年人积极的心理健康？老年男性和老年女性的生活方式和健康状况有何不同，又有何相同之处？老年健康促进计划是否应该分别针对男性和女性？
