Background and Purpose: Healthy aging has become a global priority in response to increasing life expectancy and the rising prevalence of age-related health challenges. This review aimed to identify and synthesize evidence-based components of interventions promoting healthy aging.
Methodology: A scoping review was conducted following the PRISMA-ScR (PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines. Comprehensive searches across databases, including Scopus, Cochrane, and PubMed, for studies published between 2020 and 2025.
Findings: 30 studies that met the inclusion criteria were included for final analysis. The synthesis of findings identified six key components that consistently support the effectiveness of healthy aging interventions: (i) diet, (ii) prevention and management of multimorbidity, (iii) physical activity, (iv) social support, (v) mental health management, and (vi) cognitive well-being.
Contributions: These components highlight the multidimensional aspects of healthy aging and the need to adopt an integrative approach when designing interventions. The findings provide critical insights for policymakers, healthcare practitioners, and researchers in developing frameworks and programs to promote health, well-being, and quality of life (QoL) among older adults.
Keywords: Healthy aging, quality of life, health, well-being, lifestyle.
