Developing an Integrative Active Ageing Model for Policy Makers and Service Providers to Support Older People with Lifelong Intellectual Disability

“积极老龄化”在国际上越来越流行，它支撑着澳大利亚全国对健康老龄化的关注。然而，它对占澳大利亚老年人口0.13%的智障老年人的意义尚不清楚，因为人们对老龄化对这一群体的影响知之甚少。这个令人兴奋的研究项目旨在通过一系列案例研究来解决这些知识差距，这些案例研究包括维多利亚州和昆士兰州农村和城市的主要利益相关者群体。为政策制定者和服务提供者制订一套“积极乐颐年综合模式”，以便为这一人口进行规划和适当分配资源。

'Active ageing' is increasingly gaining international currency and it underpins Australia's national focus on healthy ageing. However, its meaning for older people with intellectual disability, who represent about 0.13% of Australia's older population, is unclear, as little is known about the impact of ageing upon this group. This exciting research project aims to address these knowledge gaps through a series of case studies comprising key stakeholder groups in rural and urban Victoria and Queensland. An Integrative Model of Active Ageing for policy makers and service providers will be developed to facilitate the planning and appropriate distribution of resources for this population.
