| Annotation | Verena H Menec's 2011 framework for understanding age-friendly efforts rests on two ideas: first, that we need to take an ecological approach to develop these programs; second, that social connectedness forms the core of what makes a program age-friendly. The authors build on previous research in which they demonstrated the association between social connectedness and the health outcomes that are often the goals of age-friendly efforts. They have added an environmental measure, in order to determine whether using an ecological approach improves our understanding of the relation of social connectedness to health outcomes. They discovered that the added measure does strengthen their model. (RH). |
