“…Several limitations of the current study are noted: (1) This research only focused on the subjective feelings of residents regarding their local physical environment and therefore lacked objective quantification. (2) The research is limited by the willingness of older adults to accept interviews, our sample size was relatively small, and we only considered the older adults group with self-care ability. We would include more samples and conduct comparative studies to improve the experimental results in the future study.…”

“…Within the next few decades, one of the biggest challenges for public health will be increasing healthy aging via the maximization of health-adjusted life expectancy (HALE) [1]. Evidence from around the world has shown that health-related risk factors at the community level extend beyond the individual [2], and this is even more evident among older adults [3]. Older adults prefer to spend much of their time within their homes and community.…”

Establishing an age-friendly environment at the community level is essential for promoting healthy aging. This study focused on the relationship between older adults and the community environment through their levels of satisfaction within it. We measured their physical activity (PA) in the community environment and three variables of community-level satisfaction: community environment (SCE), community social infrastructure (SSI), and community street networks (SSN). We analyzed 108 older adult participants in Suzhou using mediation analysis and multiple linear regression to investigate the relationship between physical activity and the community environment. The results of the mediation effect model showed that SCE, SSI, and SSN all affected the physical functions of older adults via the total amount of physical activity (TPA); SSI and SSN affected older adults’ physical functions by affecting the total duration of moderate-intensity physical activity (MPA) and vigorous-intensity physical activity (VPA). In addition, SSI and SSN are related to the types of community facilities, street space quality, and accessibility. Our study provides valuable insights into optimizing aging-friendly neighborhoods through moderate-to-vigorous-intensity PAs at both the facility and street space levels.
