Effects of intergenerational contact on social capital in community-dwelling adults aged 25–84 years: a non-randomized community-based intervention

Abstract: Background Accumulating social capital in urban areas is essential to improve community health. Previous studies suggested that intergenerational contact may be effective for enhancing social capital. However, no study has examined the effect of intergenerational contact on social capital through a population-based evaluation. This study aimed to investigate the effects of a community-based intervention to increase the frequency of intergenerational contact on social capital among adults aged 2… Show more

“…The Tama Ward is a typical commuter city in the western suburb of the Tokyo metropolitan area, with a total population of 205,275 and an aging rate of 19% as of 2016. As the initial purpose of this longitudinal study was to assess the effects of community-based interventions on increasing social capital and generativity among residents in the two wards, one district in both the Kita and Tama wards was assigned as the intervention area and the remaining districts as control areas [20]. However, the current study aimed to examine the association between generativity and HLFC decline among older adults and not the effects of the intervention programs.…”

“…Outcomes were defined as the maintenance or decline in HLFC between the baseline and follow-up surveys. HLFC was evaluated using the total score of the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology Index of Competence (TMIG-IC), a 13-item index designed to measure HLFC above ADL, based on Lawton's model [20]. The response to each item was scored as 0 for "unable to do" and 1 for "able to do" (ranging from 0 to 13), with higher scores representing greater independence.…”
