Ageing has become one of the major global public issues and active ageing has become a global goal. Accurate and reproducible assessment tools are a prerequisite for robust and reliable measurement of active ageing and policy formulation. However, a broad scoping review describing the characteristics and heterogeneity of assessment tools for active ageing is lacking. This study aims to comprehensively portray current active ageing assessment tools and their features.
We conducted a scoping review, focusing on the Active Ageing Assessment Tool, and searched seven databases: CNKI, WanFang, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science Core Collection, Medline, and Proquest. The research process adhered to the methodological framework of Arkey and O'Malley and the PRISMA-ScR specification. More so, we registered the research program with the Open Science Framework.
Ultimately, we included twenty-two pieces of literature. The development of the active ageing assessment tool predominantly occurred between 2012 and 2023, with a focus on foreign countries (16 studies). All included literature presented multidimensional Active ageing assessment tools. Eighteen studies examined active ageing assessment tools at the macro level, while four studies focused on the individual level. Also, fourteen out of the twenty-two studies were based on the World Health Organization's Theoretical Framework for Active Ageing. The literature contained only two active ageing assessment tools designed for specific subgroups of older people.
Future development of active ageing assessment tools should integrate more comprehensive concepts and social theories of active ageing. Additionally, there is a need to explore active ageing measurement tools tailored for diverse subgroups of the older adults at various levels.
老龄化已成为全球主要公共问题之一，积极老龄化已成为全球目标。准确和可重复的评估工具是稳健和可靠测量积极老龄化和制定政策的前提。然而，缺乏描述积极老龄化评估工具的特点和异质性的广泛综述。本研究旨在全面描述当前积极老龄化评估工具及其特点。
我们进行了一项范围综述，重点是积极老龄化评估工具，并在七个数据库中进行了搜索：中国知网、万方、PubMed、Embase、Web of Science 核心合集、Medline 和 ProQuest。研究过程遵循 Arkey 和 O'Malley 的方法论框架和 PRISMA-ScR 规范。此外，我们在开放科学框架上注册了研究计划。
最终，我们纳入了 22 篇文献。积极老龄化评估工具的开发主要发生在 2012 年至 2023 年之间，主要集中在国外（16 项研究）。所有纳入的文献均提出了多维的积极老龄化评估工具。18 项研究在宏观层面上检验了积极老龄化评估工具，而 4 项研究则关注个体层面。此外，22 项研究中有 14 项基于世界卫生组织的积极老龄化理论框架。文献中仅有两种积极老龄化评估工具是为特定老年人群设计的。
未来积极老龄化评估工具的发展应整合更全面的积极老龄化概念和社会理论。此外，需要探索针对不同老年人群体在不同层次的积极老龄化测量工具。
