Abstract

The objectives of this study were to explore active aging among people listed with an interest in relocation, and the relationships between active aging and aspects of perceived home. Using cross-sectional data from the 2022 RELOC-AGE project (
N  = 1,509, mean age = 70 years), linear regression analysis was conducted. Women and individuals with higher self-rated health and education reported higher levels of active aging. After adjusting for confounders, Housing Satisfaction (decrease in Housing satisfaction led to lower active aging scores (β = -17.8, 95% CI [-28.6, -7.0] for neither satisfied nor dissatisfied), and Meaning of home relationship (β = 4.6, 95% CI [3.4, 5.8]), was positively associated with active aging,...

These findings are significant for promoting health and well-being among older adults. They add knowledge about home as a key factor for active aging and could be valuable for policymakers, housing authorities, and healthcare and social services staff involved in aging and housing issues.
