Summary

Social innovation in aging needs to bring new ideas and services to meet new social and welfare needs identified in recent years. In our environment, people ≥60 years old accounted for 20% -24% of the population in 2015, and it is expected to increase to ≥30% by 2050. Older people living in rural areas have been severely affected by confinement, and new needs are being generated. To better understand the needs, an innovative element of this project is to involve the elderly-young people (60-74 years) from rural areas in the generation of solutions, which will make these solutions especially adapted to their needs. It also aims to study the effectiveness of a health education intervention based on participatory research, where young seniors co-create and implement the intervention among their peers, and focused on improving lifestyles, to prevent or to improve sarcopenia.

The objectives of this project are: To characterize the elderly (60 to 74 years) who live independently in rural areas of the province of Tarragona, to actively involve them, through a process of participatory research to generate solutions.

To achieve this goal, it is proposed to make a diagnosis of their health status (lifestyles, risk of malnutrition and sarcopenia), and conduct group interviews (focus groups) including earlier elderly people from rural areas. In addition, participants will receive the intervention co-created by themselves, and the effectiveness of the intervention created will be evaluated.
