Description
Summary:Many papers have assessed which factors are associated with healthy ageing, yet this research area has not yet been summarised properly, partly due to the heterogeneity of the studies, and the scale of the task. During this talk, we will present findings from a systematic review of the determinants of healthy ageing (socio-demographic, biological, behavioural and psychological and social). We aimed to: 1-Identify the key determinants of healthy ageing; 2-Qualify and quantify the direction of associations; 3-Summarise research trends across the last decades; 4-Identify knowledge gaps. A review protocol was registered on Prospero before the start of the project (ID=CRD42016037935). Only longitudinal cohort studies were included. No language or time limits were used. The initial title & abstract screening included 92747 papers, whereas 2341 articles were retained for full text screening. Results will be presented, together with a discussion of the research and policy implications of this evidence synthesis.
