Successful aging and its associated factors among older adults in Nepal: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT: Successful aging is one model of positive aging promoted among the older population, and represents an ideal aging scenario. It is important to understand what proportion of older adults are aging successfully and what factors influence it, to better support positive aging in the older population. Although aging is a global phenomenon, the Global South's contribution to successful aging literature is very scant. Hence, this study was conducted in Nepal with the objective of finding the overall situation of successful aging and its predictors among older adults. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Kathmandu, Nepal. A total of 346 older adults aged 60 years and above were interviewed. Data related to successful aging, socio-demographic, and health-related characteristics
