Scoping review reveals multi-component community practices improve health span in aging populations, highlighting the value of multi-stakeholder interventions.

Key Points

To identify existing and emerging community-based practices and interventions that promote healthy longevity, characterize their components, and examine stakeholder involvement.
Conducted a scoping review using Arksey and O'Malley's six-stage framework and JBI Population-Concept-Context criteria across six databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, CINAHL, and Google Scholar) from January 2010 to February 2025.
Extracted and narratively synthesized data on intervention characteristics, study design, and outcomes using two independent reviewers.
Identified 21 eligible studies published predominantly after 2020 and conducted in high-income settings (81.0%), categorized into interventional (33%), descriptive (24%), association (24%), and intervention development (19%) designs.
Multi-component interventional and development programs targeting individual and social determinants reported beneficial effects on physical, cognitive, and psychosocial health.
Association and descriptive studies linked micro- to macro-level factors—including nutrition, digital literacy, housing quality, and public financing policies—to healthy longevity metrics.
