Funded Activity Summary

Is retirement village living good for health: Comparing the health of older adults living in retirement villages and the community. Australia's ageing population will have substantial economic and social ramifications. This study will contribute knowledge to the development and application of environmental and housing policies designed to promote health and public health and clinical interventions intended to combat the major contributors to disease and disability in older populations. Knowledge of factors that improve health and promote mobility, independence, social interaction and life satisfaction will also assist planning future age-congregated living environments. The research falls within national priority goals including ageing well, ageing productively, preventative healthcare, and strengthening Australia's social and economic fabric.
