Opis

There are over 4.6 million individuals belonging to minority ethnic groups in the United Kingdom, with a quarter million aged 60 years or over. This study is about what healthy aging means to older people who have migrated to UK and the research questions is how do older people themselves define "comfortable, healthy aging"? The data is supplement by semi-structured interview and our study results are presented in this research. In our opinion, more programs should be initiated by the Government to promote healthy aging and reduce loneliness by way of social connections and adequate funds should be kept aside for the same.
