Abstract Abstract: Introduction: Healthy Ageing “as the process of developing and maintaining the functional ability that enables wellbeing in older age”. Functional ability is about having the capabilities that enable all people to be and do what they have reason to value. This includes a person’s ability to meet their basic needs; to learn, grow and make decisions; to be mobile; to build and maintain relationships; and to contribute to society. Methodology: Total 80 participants were recruited. The Study setting was rural community area in vadgao-gupta Ahmednagar. Random sampling technique was used. The inclusion criteria were elderly above 60 yrs old were included, Presence of controlled chronic condition individuals was included (hypertension <140/90, blood sugar level 80-130mg/dl)) and ability to perform basic ADL’s independently, no clinically significant cognitive impairment (mmse>=24). The exclusion criteria were Terminal illness (life expectancy less than 6months), unstable or uncontrolled co-morbidities were excluded. Those who were not willing to participate were excluded. Procedure: This healthy ageing model implemented on elderly individuals for the two weeks and pre and post data were taken. 6-Minute Walk Test (meters) for the Endurance, Timed Up and Go Test (seconds) for Balance & Risk of Fall, 30-Second Sit to Stand Test (reps)for Strength & Endurance and Geriatric Depression Scale Score for Depression, Older People Quality of Life(OPQOL),Mini-cog Scale for Cognitive impairment were assessed with help of these outcome measures and data was analysed. Result: This study examined the 80 elderly individuals. Table 1 shows the demographic data regarding age, gender, education level and occupation level. The average age of elderly individual was 68.5 ± 5.2. There were 45 male and 35 female participants. Table 2 shows the pre and post values for the 6-Minute Walk Test, Timed Up and Go Test, Sit to Stand Test, geriatric depression scale and quality of life scale which shows p-value 0.001(significant). Figure 1, 2,3 and 4 shows the graphical representation of all the outcome measures. Conclusion:A healthy aging model for rural community was developed and it is found to be more effective in rural community population in Ahmednagar. The healthy aging model has the advantage of reflecting the perspectives of rural community elderly and of including a positive health dimension, allowing it to encompass a wide spectrum of aspects of health-related quality of life.
