ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To investigate the preparations made by adults to age in place and identify disparities.METHODS:
A cross-sectional survey was conducted among U.S. adults ages 50-80 years old (n = 2277). Individual, environmental, social, and community factors influencing readiness for aging in place were examined using chi-square tests and logistic regression.RESULTS:
Income, disability status, and household composition, emerged as influential factors, often negatively affecting minority aging. Participants' consideration of aging in place was related to their disability status (OR 1.80 [1.32, 2.45]) and age (OR age 60-69 2.06 [1.54, 2.74], age 70-80 (OR 1.98 [1.46,2.67]), compared with age 50-59). Indigenous and Black older adults reported significantly higher levels of consideration for aging in place than White older adults (Indigenous OR 7.89 [2.35, 26.42], Black OR 1.71 [1.11, 2.64]).CONCLUSION:
Aging in place is best facilitated by inclusive communities that prioritize adaptive homes and accessible community services.Palabras clave
