Mental well-being model of Thai older adults: Comparing the aging in place and aging migrant groups
By understanding differences in the mental well-being models between the two groups, policy makers and service providers can better address the needs of older adults. Policies and programs should be designed to reduce their psychological distress. Maintaining social connections can be crucial for migrants, while activities such as lifelong learning and physical activities to enhance cognitive function can benefit people who are aging in place.
