Abstract

The World Health Organization’s Global Strategy and Action Plan sets out objectives related to aging that maximize functional ability, and hence, have effects on both intrinsic capacity as well as the external physical and social environments that older adults live in. Thus, there is a strong link with the study that the Status of Women Committee is undertaking. For example, affordable housing and transportation are both key social determinants of health, and are highly linked to quality of life.
