摘要：

The aging population in Malaysia needs the development of age-friendly neighborhoods to support healthy aging. This study examined the neighborhood variables affecting the quality of life related to health among older adults through a questionnaire survey of 254 participants in Klang Valley, Malaysia. Significant determinants included accessibility, safety from crime, environmental quality, and addressing neighborhood problems. Additionally, the presence of third places, such as shopping centers and cultural/educational institutions, was found to promote health among older adults. The findings indicated that policymakers and developers should develop age-friendly neighborhoods that could effectively support aging in place for older adults.
