Outdoor green space is an important public resource supporting older adults’ active lifestyle and improving their quality of life (QoL). However, the impact on QoL has seldom been comprehensibly investigated in Asia. Therefore, this study aimed to predict China by conducting both spatial analysis questionnaire surveys. A two-step floating catchment area method was applied measure accessibility adults at subdistrict level. To investigate actual opinions verify results, a large-scale survey also conducted. Both ANOVA logistic regression were adopted analyze data. The results indicated that (1) not equally distributed; (2) possibility good for significantly influenced accessibility, size, facilities space; (3) satisfactory would decrease with increase walking distances self-care ability. These findings could provide insights future planning enhance distribution improve adults.

With an aging population, the importance of age-friendly design for high-speed railway station squares is rising. This study creates evaluation framework such squares, considering security, pedestrian systems, environmental facilities, basic functions, and arts culture from elderly users' perspectives. Utilizing IPA-Kano model, quantifies needs perceptions elderly, also explores key factors affecting in Chengdu East Railway Station. The findings indicate that: (1)elderly users prioritize safety convenience over aesthetic considerations square, aligning with Maslow's hierarchy needs. insufficient provision seating rain shelter facilities contributes to lower satisfaction among this demographic. (2)The important elements, including walking surfaces, first aid quantity placement staircases es calators, flow design, public seating, spatial cleanliness, service amenities, human counseling services, are prioritized optimization process. Enhancing these elements likely markedly enhance overall older users. Conclusively, integrates field results delineate pathway square.

An urban area is characterized by increased sedentary lifestyle (SL) and reduced physical fitness (PF) among various populations, including lactating mothers. Adequate essential for mothers to support breastmilk production during the period. This study used an observational method with a cross-sectional design that aims analyze factors associated in area. included 61 selected through systematic random sampling Magelang City. Physical status was assessed six-minute walk test. Trained enumerators collected data using validated instruments each variable. Data were analyzed Chisquare Fisher’s exact tests. The results showed most subjects had moderate PF (68.3%), while only 34.9% engaged vigorous activity. In addition, 3.2% of well-hydrated, significant portion inadequate calcium (76.2%) iron (61.9%) intake. However, no correlation found between activity, nutritional intake (total energy, calcium, iron), hydration status, (p > 0.05). Therefore, future research should consider incorporating additional variables such as biochemistry environmental factors.
