Abstract

Starenje stanovništva javlja se kao posljedica napredaka u medicini i
tehnologiji te poboljšanja životnih uvjeta i kvalitete života općenito. Republika
Hrvatska također prati svjetske demografske trendove. Starenje je prirodan proces
koji doživljava svako živo biće, a podrazumijeva fiziološki pad fizičkih i mentalnih
sposobnosti. Postoje brojne biopsihosocijalne teorije koje pokušavaju objasniti
starenje i pobliže opisati načine na koje se ono može poboljšati. Iako se one
preklapaju u... More brojnim aspektima, postoje nesuglasice vezane uz uspješnost starenja.
Naime, koncept uspješnog starenja je iznimno heterogen i samim time ga je vrlo
teško točno definirati.
Uspješno starenje je iznimno subjektivan pojam, koji može biti individualno definiran
za svakog pojedinca. Međutim, iako postoje odstupanja, većina se teorija slaže da je
za uspješno starenje potrebno kvalitetno održavanje tjelesnih i kognitivnih
sposobnosti, smanjenje rizika za razvoj bolesti ili invaliditeta, te nastavak
sudjelovanja starijih odraslih osoba u životnim odlukama. Potrebna je daljnja
standardizacija metodoloških postupaka kako bi se još više unaprijedila kvaliteta
starijih odraslih pojedinaca u zajednici. Less

Abstract (english)

The aging of the population occurs as a result of advances in medicine
and technology, and improvement of living conditions and quality of life in general.
The Republic of Croatia also follows world demographic trends. Aging is a natural
process experienced by every living being, and it implies a physiological decline in
physical and mental abilities. Several biopsychosociological theories try to explain
aging and describe in more detail how it can improve. Although they overlap in
... More many aspects, there are disagreements associated with the success of aging. Namely,
the concept of successful aging is extremely heterogeneous and therefore very
difficult to define precisely.
Successful aging is an extremely subjective term, which can be defined individually
for each individual. However, although there are discrepancies, most theories agree
that successful aging requires quality maintenance of physical and cognitive
abilities, reduction of the risk of developing disease or disability, and continued
participation of older adults in life decisions. Further standardization of
methodological procedures is needed to further improve the quality of older adult
individuals in the community. Less
