“…The community with which the older adult maintains a sense of belonging and/or self-identification plays a crucial role in the proper development of GRRs. This has recently been confirmed by Koelen and Eriksson (2022), stating that the elders spend about 80% of their time in community and home. Accordingly, physical and social environment in which everyday life takes place must be a space conducive to active and healthy aging.…”

As population aging advances, the urgency of observing healthcare models that seek to promote the comprehensiveness of the older person becomes evident. This short review explores some theoretical points that encourage the study of the Salutogenic Paradigm proposed by Antonovsky (1996), pondering the possible benefits for the gerontological field. Short readings, such as the one presented here, encourage us to explore and better understand the health of older adults and the care mechanisms that arise from it.

“…The GRRs make it possible to access the SRRs, which in contrast ‘have situation-specific utility’ ( Mittelmark et al, 2017 , p. 71). Examples of SRRs are amenities and services like day care centres transport infrastructure, healthy food outlets and any other public accessible social places that can be considered health-promoting assets ( Koelen et al, 2017 ; Lake, 2018 ; Alidoust et al, 2019 ; Perez-Wilson et al, 2020 ). In this work, we can consider local high streets as GRRs because they are settings with wide-ranging utility, and their socio-spatial features as SRRs because these are specific to each local high street.…”

“…The links between SOC, well-being and quality of life have been evidenced in studies that have looked at self-reported daily life experiences ( Eriksson and Lindström, 2006 , 2007 ). SOC has been used in relation to active travel and to access to green areas ( Koelen et al, 2017 ; Lillefjell et al, 2017 ), while age-friendly communities have identified the importance of everyday resources that can strengthen people’s SOC ( Koelen et al, 2017 ; Mittelmark et al, 2017 ).…”

Summary The article provides a novel look at the links between salutogenesis, health promotion, and urban design supported by the findings of recent research on local high streets and their benefits for the well-being of older people. Salutogenesis and the related explanatory concept of sense of coherence (SOC) have provided a theoretical framework for developing healthy settings interventions, shifting the focus from exploring barriers and deficits to assets and resources in promoting people’s health and well-being. While these concepts have informed policies and programmes at the level of regions and cities, no attempt has been made to establish more direct links with the disciplines devoted to the organization and design of the built environment at the scale of public spaces and streets. This article advances the idea that the main categories of SOC—comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness—have found application in urban design theory. Linking these categories with urban design concepts in a comprehensive framework, it is possible to guide interventions aimed at strenghtening well-being resources available in the public realm. This is corroborated by the findings resulting from a study of the well-being experiences of older people (n = 84) across a range of local high streets in the city of Edinburgh (UK) applying an innovative multi-methods approach. The discussion establishes the links between well-being benefits, SOC constructs and urban design concepts, and underscores the potential of the proposed framework to guide a design-oriented salutogenic approach to the built environment.

“…(7) Population aging is defined as a significant decline of fertility level in a certain group of people, that leads to infertility and mortality, and the increased proportion of elderly is calculated by comparing the number of the older population and the total population. (8) Indonesia has an aging population, since the proportion of elderly was 9.6% in 2019 or very close to 10%. The structure of the older population shows that the proportion of older people has increased over time.…”

BackgroundThe increasing population of older people can be a positive impact if they could be productive, or it could be negative as a burden if they depend on others. Elderly with physical disabilities can be influenced by various factors, including depression, which can be caused by functional changes in the body due to aging, loss of work, or even the loss of a loved one. This study aimed to determine the relationship between depression and physical disabilities among the elderly in Indonesia who were stratified by gender. MethodsA cross-sectional study using a national survey dataset namely Basic Health Survey and Socio-Economic Survey for 2018 involving 85,427 elderly. Depression and disability were assessed using Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview and Barthel Index. Chi-Square test and multiple binary logistic regression were used to analyze the data. ResultsThe results revealed that 24.75% of elderly people experienced physical disabilities. The probability of males and females with depression having physical disabilities was respectively 2.95 (95% CI = 2.74-3.17) and 2.49 (95% CI = 2.36-2.64) times higher compared to those without depression. The interaction between depression and gender was statistically significant, in that females with depression had an 11% probability of having physical disability. ConclusionThis study reaffirmed that disability is a risk factor for depression in the elderly and female gender is the effect modifier rather than the risk factor. The male depression group showed more physical disability symptoms than the female depression group. There is collaboration from various sectors to prevent depression and physical disabilities.
