Importance of the home environment for healthy aging: conceptual and methodological background of the European ENABLE-AGE Project.
(2007) In The Gerontologist 47(1). p.78-84- Abstract
- Currently in Europe as well as in the United States, an increasing proportion of very old people remain living in their homes despite declines in physical and mental health. Together with the fact that the population of very old people is rapidly increasing (Mathers, Sadana, Salamon, Murray, Lopez, 2001; United Nations Development Programme, 2001), this poses new challenges to societal planning and housing development (Gitlin, 2003).
