چکیده
Policies and programs designed to support ‘ageing well’ represent a key plank in government and community responses to the challenges of population ageing (1-3). Supporting ageing well might be defined as “the process of optimizing opportunities for health, participation and security in order to enhance quality of life as people age” (3 p.12). This is a broad goal, touching on virtually all the life domains; physical, social and psychological. Developing policies or programs to support ageing well is therefore complex, requiring an encompassing and nuanced understanding of ageing.
