Description
Halah F Alenizi leads a thirteen-author team reporting a 2026 cross-sectional study of active ageing awareness among older adults in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The study enrolled 351 adults aged 60 or older attending family medicine clinics at a large referral hospital. Participants completed the WHOQOL-BREF quality of life questionnaire and an Active Ageing Awareness Questionnaire, and the team linked the two with regression models that adjusted for social and health factors. The average participant age was 68.2 years, give or take seven years.
Most participants, 79.8 percent, had never heard the term active ageing before. Even so, higher awareness scores were significantly tied to better quality of life in all four measured domains, covering physical, psychological, social, and environmental aspects. Each extra awareness point raised the odds of better quality of life slightly, with adjusted odds ratios around 1.02. Education and financial status also mattered independently.
