Physical activity related to daily activities \u2013 other than exercise \u2013 accounts for most of the total physical activity of older adults. Attractive destinations, such as parks or shops, may draw one to leave home, but little is known about locations of activity destinations relative to older adults\u2019 homes.<\/span><\/p>\n In this project, we study where older adults are active, whether these places share common attributes, and how these places affect active aging and its change over time. If possible, a mapping strategy will be developed for identifying environments supporting active aging in Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4, and it will be tested in different settings.<\/span><\/p>\n Integration of epidemiological and geographical data sources, multi-disciplinary methods and expert collaboration will ensure a comprehensive picture of person-environment interactions underlying active aging. This project will provide a scientific basis to develop cities and communities that go beyond age-friendly \u2013 that is, promoting active aging of their residents.<\/span><\/p>\n Funder<\/b><\/p>\n Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture (2019 \u2013 2023)<\/span><\/p>\n Research group<\/b><\/p>\n Principal Investigator<\/span><\/i> Researchers<\/span><\/i> Research coordinator Dr. Milla Saajanaho, University of Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4<\/span><\/p>\n Professor Taina Rantanen, University of Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4<\/span><\/p>\n Doctoral researcher MSc.
