Active aging refers to the process of optimizing opportunities for health, participation, and security to enhance the quality of life as people age [3]. It involves taking steps to maintain physical, social, and mental well-being throughout the aging process. Active aging emphasizes the importance of staying physically and mentally active, engaging in social activities, and adopting a healthy lifestyle to promote overall well-being and independence in later life [5]. The goal is to enable older adults to lead fulfilling and productive lives, remaining involved in their communities and contributing to society while enjoying good health and a sense of purpose. Active aging promotes a holistic approach to aging that goes beyond merely preventing injury/treating illnesses and focuses on fostering a positive and active lifestyle for seniors [1].
