Relationship between expectations regarding aging and productive engagement among community-dwelling older adults: a cross-sectional study
The community-dwelling older adults exhibited moderate levels of both expectation regarding aging and productive engagement, demonstrating potential for enhancement. All four dimensions of aging expectations showed positive correlations with productive engagement and demonstrated predictive capacity for its intensity, suggesting that community administrators could develop interventions targeting expectation regarding aging to optimize productive engagement among older adults, strategically leverage the human resources of older adults, and ultimately facilitate the realization of productive aging.
