Relationships Between Housing and Healthy Aging in Very Old Age
Open accessAbstract
PURPOSE: The aim of this work is to examine the relationship between aspects of objective and perceived housing and aspects of healthy aging, defined as independence in daily activities and subjective well-being. Furthermore, this research examined the comparability of relationships between housing and healthy aging in the five European countries. DESIGN AND METHODS: Data were drawn from the ENABLE-AGE Project, from home interviews with a sample of 1,918 very old people aged 75 to 89 years living alone in their own homes in Swedish, German, British, Hungarian and Latvian urban areas. RESULTS: Participants living in better accessible homes, who perceive their home as meaningful and useful, and who think that external influences are not responsible for their housing situation are more independent in daily activities and have a better sense of well-being. Moreover, these results apply to all five national samples. IMPLICATIONS: The findings can widen the perspective when striving for barrier-free building standards, to encompass a holistic approach that takes both objective and perceived aspects of housing into account. Home modification and relocation should not be prescribed, but need to be negotiated with older adults to take into account their personal preferences.

“…studies have focused on the impact of home hazards on negative health events particularly, such as falls (Gitlin, 2003; Oswald & Wahl, 2004), but generally the evidence about a link between housing and health is limited (Ferrucci et al., 2004; Gitlin et al., 2006; Oswald & Wahl; Spillman, 2004).”

“The goal is that the elderly will still be able to have personal control and convenience over their basic needs in life through the improvement of their housing, despite the deterioration of their abilities, so as to maintain their well-being and sense of independence in daily life [19].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
