背景:总人口中老年人口增加和城市老年人口增加的全球现象促使对伊朗各个城市的年龄友好型城市指标进行了大量研究。从这些研究中获得的见解可以帮助决策者促进老年人的社会正义。因此,本研究旨在调查伊朗不同城市的年龄友好型城市指标状况.
方法:通过在波斯语和英语数据库中搜索研究进行了系统评价,直到2024年3月,包括Pubmed,WebofScience,Scopus,科克伦,谷歌学者,和科学直接,使用诸如“年龄友好”之类的关键字,“老年人友好”,\"城市\",“老年人”,\"老化\",“老年人”,\"指标\",\"组件\",\"条件\",\"功能\",\"特征\",\"索引\",\"伊朗\",和“城市空间”,以及它们的MeSH等价物,使用\"AND\"和\"OR\"运算符。此外,使用诸如“对老年人友好”之类的关键字广泛搜索了诸如Magiran和SID之类的波斯语数据库,\"城市\",“城市空间”,\"伊朗\",\"指标\",\"组件\",\"功能\",和“标准”。还检查了最终文章的参考文献以确保搜索准确性。回顾了对年龄友好型城市指标的研究结果,总结,最终报告。
结果:最初的搜索产生了2857篇文章,其中34项被纳入系统审查。只有两项研究针对基于老年人需求的指标,与大多数报告不利的城市条件为老年人。尽管有这些不利条件,在所检查的指标中,开放空间和建筑物的指数排名最高。然而,两个指标——尊重老年人,社会接受,公民参与,和就业-在任何研究中都表现不佳。
结论:调查结果表明,伊朗未能达到年龄友好型城市的要求标准。因此,建议老年健康领域的政策制定者采取措施,确定和减轻老年人的环境风险因素。

BACKGROUND: The global phenomena of an increasing older population within the total population and the rise in urban older residents have prompted numerous studies on the indicators of an age-friendly city in various Iranian cities. The insights obtained from these studies can aid policymakers in promoting social justice for older adults. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the status of age-friendly city indicators across different cities in Iran.
METHODS: A systematic
review was conducted by searching for studies in Persian and English databases until March 2024, including Pubmed, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect, using keywords such as \"age-friendly\", \"elderly-friendly\", \"cities\", \"older adults\", \"aging\", \"elderly\", \"indicators\", \"components\", \"criteria\", \"features\", \"characteristics\", \"indexes\", \"Iran\", and \"urban space\", along with their MeSH equivalents, employing \"AND\" and \"OR\" operators. Additionally, Persian databases such as Magiran and SID were extensively searched using keywords like \"elderly-friendly\", \"city\", \"urban spaces\", \"Iran\", \"indicators\", \"components\", \"features\", and \"criteria\". The references of the final articles were also examined to ensure search accuracy. The results from the studies on the indicators of an age-friendly city were reviewed, summarized, and ultimately reported.
RESULTS: The initial search yielded 2857 articles, of which 34 were included in the systematic
review. Only two studies addressed the indicators based on the needs of the older adults, with the majority reporting unfavorable urban conditions for the older adults. Despite these unfavorable conditions, the index of open spaces and buildings received the highest rank among the examined indicators. However, two indicators-respect for older adults, social acceptance, civic participation, and employment- did not perform well in any study.
CONCLUSIONS: The findings indicated that Iran failed to meet the required standards for age-friendly cities. Therefore, it is recommended that policymakers in the field of geriatric health take measures to identify and mitigate environmental risk factors for older adults.
BACKGROUND: This systematic
review was registered on the Prospero database with the number CRD42023475657 on date 8 November 2023.
