Paper: Moving Toward a Global Age‐Friendly Ecosystem
The Journal of the American Geriatrics Society (JAGS) has published a paper, "Moving Toward a Global Age‐Friendly Ecosystem."
The designation of “age friendly” has clearly engaged the attention of scholars and leading experts in the field of aging. Now more than ever, in an era of pandemics, it seems wise to create an ecosystem where each of the age‐friendly initiatives can create synergies and additional momentum as the population continues to age
Written by authors affiliated with The John A. Hartford Foundation, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, Trust for America's Health, and the World Health Organization, the paper reviews the historical evolution of age‐friendly programs and describes a vision for an age‐friendly ecosystem that can encompass the lived environment, social determinants of health, the healthcare system, and our prevention‐focused public health system.
