Abstract
Many developing
countries face a rapidly ageing population requiring sufficient preparation to
integrate various services for enhancing healthy active ageing. However, there
is a lack of evidence on the comprehensive framework of active ageing and its
overall determinants, especially in the Southeast Asia region. The current
review sought to understand the main determinants of active ageing to predict
the indicators of active ageing in the Southeast Asia region. A scoping review
is conducted by reviewing English language literature published between 2002
and 2022 in three electronic databases, including Scopus, ScienceDirect, and
PubMed, using MeSH terms, keywords, and inclusion and exclusion criteria. The
review found a wide range of variables related to five determinants of healthy
ageing in Southeast Asia. Participation in social, physical, learning, and
labour activities is the most frequent and popular determinant of active ageing
in Southeast Asia. Followed by health (health services and health status),
perceived environment (neighbourhoods and housing), security (financial
security, social status, and independency), behavioural (spirituality and
lifestyle), and personal demographic characteristics, respectively. Overall, this
scoping review contributed to the identification of comprehensive indicators ofactive ageing in
Southeast Asia, including Malaysia.
Keywords: Active
ageing; active ageing indicators; Malaysia; participation; Southeast Asia
Abstrak
Kebanyakan negara membangun
menghadapi kepantasan penuaan penduduk yang menuntut persediaan rapi untuk
mengintegrasikan pelbagai perkhidmatan bagi mempertingkatkan penuaan aktif yang
sihat. Namun, maklumat bagi rangka kerja penuaan aktif yang komprehensif dan
penentu keseluruhannya adalah kurang, terutamanya di rantau Asia Tenggara.
Kajian ini bertujuan untuk memahami penentu utama penuaan sihat bagi mengenal
pasti penunjuk penuaan aktif di rantau Asia Tenggara. Ulasan penskopan
melibatkan sorotan kepustakaan dalam bahasa Inggeris yang diterbitkan antara
tahun 2002 dan 2022 dalam tiga pangkalan data elektronik iaitu Jurnal SAGE,
Scopus dan PubMed, menggunakan terma MeSH, kata kunci serta kriteria kemasukan
dan pengecualian. Kajian mendapati pelbagai pemboleh ubah berkait dengan lima
penentu penuaan sihat di Asia Tenggara. Penyertaan dalam aktiviti sosial,
fizikal, pembelajaran dan tenaga kerja adalah penentu penuaan aktif yang paling
kerap dan popular di Asia Tenggara. Ini diikuti dengan kesihatan (perkhidmatan
kesihatan dan status kesihatan), persepsi persekitaran (kejiranan dan
perumahan), keselamatan (keselamatan kewangan, status sosial dan kebebasan),
tingkah laku (kerohanian dan gaya hidup) dan juga ciri demografi. Secara
keseluruhannya, ulasan skop ini dapat mengenal pasti penunjuk yang komprehensif
bagi penuaan aktif yang sihat di Asia Tenggara, termasuk Malaysia.
Kata kunci: Asia
Tenggara; Malaysia; penuaan aktif; penunjuk penuaan aktif; penyertaan
