The Relationship Between Social Support and Health-Promoting Behaviors among Older Adults in Fasa, Iran: A Cross-sectional Study
These findings emphasize the pivotal role of social support in promoting health-related behaviors among older adults. Interventions that strengthen social support networks, foster enabling environments, and address gender and educational disparities are recommended to improve health outcomes and quality of life in aging populations. Policymakers and healthcare planners should incorporate these determinants into the design of targeted, evidence-based interventions for older adults.
