To address the numerous challenges associated with aging, increased attention has been given to the development of age-friendly cities and communities (AFCC) to promote healthy aging and social participation. However, limited evidence exists for addressing both health and social needs through the AFCC framework. We address this gap by conducting a scoping review of the interventions that target both health and social outcomes within the purview of the AFCC framework. The results showed that many of the successful interventions used a partnership model and behavioral change theories to inform the program design and implementation. The results also indicated that social participation and engagement played a key role in making the interventions successful. However, the results revealed that the literature is dominated by person-focused approaches. Future research should focus more on evaluating environmental-focused interventions and develop a holistic framework that combines both person- and environment-based approaches to healthy aging.
为了解决与老龄化相关的众多挑战，人们越来越关注友好型城市和社区（AFCC）的发展，以促进健康老龄化和社会参与。然而，通过 AFCC 框架来满足健康和社会需求的证据有限。我们通过对针对 AFCC 框架范围内的健康和社会结果的干预措施进行范围综述来解决这一差距。结果表明，许多成功的干预措施都使用了伙伴关系模式和行为改变理论来为项目设计和实施提供信息。结果还表明，社会参与和参与在使干预措施取得成功方面发挥了关键作用。然而，结果表明，文献主要以以人为中心的方法为主。未来的研究应更多地侧重于评估以环境为重点的干预措施，并制定一个将人与环境为基础的方法相结合的整体框架，以实现健康老龄化。
