Optimising older adults' home spaces to support independence, activity, connection and wellbeing

健康老龄化是威尔士政府的一个优先事项（威尔士老年人战略，2013年），其中包括体育活动（PA）。不幸的是，老年人是最不活跃的人群（汤森等人，2015年），导致对福祉，健康和社会保健成本的负面影响（国家统计局，2012年）。BAME老年人特别不活跃，2型糖尿病发病率升高（Ige-Elegbede等人，因此，这项研究将专门寻求纳入BAME老年人，以确保研究结果在整个人群中的相关性。通过建立家庭环境使老年人能够在互联的社区中过上独立，有目的，充实的生活，并提高他们的福祉。目的（1）了解老年人家庭的地理环境如何与PA，久坐行为，心理状态，认知和健康相互作用;（2）监测老年人的PA和久坐行为，并检查与心理状态，健康和认知的关联;（3）开发优化老年人家庭环境的方法，以影响PA，健康和独立性。

Healthy ageing is a Welsh Government priority (Strategy for Older People in Wales, 2013), which includes physical activity (PA). Unfortunately, older adults are the least active population (Townsend et al., 2015) resulting in negative consequences for wellbeing, health and social care costs (Office for National Statistics, 2012). BAME older adults are particularly inactive, with elevated Type 2 diabetes incidence (Ige-Elegbede et al., 2019) thus this research will specifically seek to incorporate BAME older adults, to ensure relevance of findings across the population. Aim Enable older adults to live independent, purposeful, fulfilled lives within connected communities, by establishing ways their home environment can enable PA and enhance wellbeing. Objectives(1) Understand how the geography of older adults' homes interacts with PA, sedentary behaviour, psychological states, cognition and wellbeing; (2) Monitor older adults' PA and sedentary behaviour and examine associations with psychological states, wellbeing and cognition; (3) Develop ways to optimise older adults' home environments to influence PA, wellbeing and independence.
