“…Meanwhile, higher accessibility to neighborhood facilities had a 0.95 time lower chance of achieving successful aging. This result is in line with a previous study, which reported that no difference was observed according to the accessibility in the community environment [47], while other studies [41,48] have reported that the possibility of achieving successful aging is higher when facilities are located conveniently in areas where older adults inhabit, thus showing discrepancies in the results. However, the community environment is a factor that directly affects successful aging in older adults [48], hence encouraging older adults to participate in social activities if the accessibility to neighborhood facilities is easy and can be expected to have a positive effect on successful aging.…”

This study was conducted to identify the factors associated with successful aging in older adults based on the ecological system model. Data from the 2017 National Survey of the Living Conditions of Korean Elderly were used. Participants comprised 10,074 older adults. The three principal components in the successful aging model developed by Rowe and Kahn, “absence of disease and disease-related disability,” “maintenance of high mental and physical function,” and “continued engagement with life,” were used to determine successful aging. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-squared test, t-test, and logistic regression. The study results showed that the correlation factors were age, sex, educational level, economic status, heavy drinking, subjective health status, and health screening in the individual system; living arrangement, satisfaction with spouse, and frequency of contacting family, siblings, and relatives in the family system; and the frequency of contacting neighbors and friends, number of close neighbors and friends, and accessibility of neighborhood facilities in the community system. This study is significant because it confirms that individual characteristics and the environmental systems surrounding older adults should be considered for successful aging; it is necessary to develop and apply healthcare intervention programs that consider both of these aspects.
