Drawing from research, they explore how socio-demographic factors and personal experiences influence aging and emphasize the importance of a bio-mechanical-psycho-social approach.
The episode highlights key strategies for promoting optimal aging, including comprehensive health assessments, empowering seniors through preventive health programs, and fostering a positive mindset through strength-based assessments. Learn how psychosocial interventions and community involvement can significantly improve mental health and reduce loneliness and help one to… age well.
