Modifying unhealthy behaviors and/or environments may improve or maintain an older adult's health. However, achieving and sustaining behavior change is challenging and depends upon clinical, social, psychological, and political domains. In an effort to highlight the multidisciplinary nature of behavior change, the NIA Research Centers Collaborative Network (RCCN) held a two-day workshop, Achieving and sustaining behavior change for older adults. The workshop was informed by the socioecological model and designed to initiate dialogue around individual, community, and systems-level determinants of behavior change. This paper summarizes key topics presented during the workshop, discusses opportunities for future research, education, and training, and recommends how each of the six NIA research centers may pursue work in behavior change for older adults.
改变不健康行为和/或环境可能会改善或维持老年人的健康。然而，实现并维持行为改变具有挑战性，且取决于临床、社会、心理和政治领域。为了突出行为改变的多学科性质，美国国立衰老研究所研究中心协作网络（RCCN）举办了为期两天的研讨会“实现并维持老年人的行为改变”。该研讨会以社会生态模型为依据，旨在围绕行为改变的个体、社区和系统层面决定因素展开对话。本文总结了研讨会上提出的关键主题，讨论了未来研究、教育和培训的机会，并就国立衰老研究所的六个研究中心如何开展针对老年人行为改变的工作提出建议。
