Assignment On Healthy Ageing Determinants Of Health

HEALTHY AGEING
Determinants of Health
 There are different social factors that affect the
health conditions of the people.
 These social determinants can develop negative
conditions such as the chronic diseases which
can affect the healthy ageing.
 Healthy ageing would be dependent on the
social determinants of health such as socio-
economic structure, education, unemployment
and environmental condition (Prasher & Janicki,
2018).
Culture
 Behaviour of people also has a large impact on
the healthy living and eventually on the healthy
ageing processes as well.
 The culture and the religion have a key effect
on the behavioural factors of the person.
 Substance abuse is also one of the behavioural
aspects that also affect the healthy ageing
process.
 The aspect of the knowledge development is
one of the factors that develops the health
literacy and development of healthy living
practices such as physical activity (Bakhshi et
al. 2015).

 Probable resources that
helps in the development
of the life.
 The lifestyle of the person
also determines the
aspect of the healthy
living.
 Thus, the healthy ageing
is dependent on different
aspects including the
genetic factor, lifestyle,
disabilities, and cognitive
impairments and also
development of chronic
diseases can be
accounted for the
negative consequences of
the ageing.
 Hence, healthy ageing is
clearly dependent on the
life resources (Butler &
Sembhi, 2019).
