The aging of the population in China has entered a new accelerated stage,with life expectancy continuously extended,and the prevalence and disability rate of chronic degenerative diseases are also rising.The quality of life in later years has been severely challenged.Neighborhood environment is one of the main living environments for elderly people in their daily lives,which has a significant impact on their health and well-being.A large amount of existing literature indicates that urban planning has the ability to improve the quality of life of the elderly by strengthening the support of the neighborhood environment.It is crucial to explore how the neighborhood environment affects the behavior and quality of life of the elderly in order to achieve sustainable development of the neighborhood environment and ensure their quality of life in their later years.This article analyzes and comments on six aspects:related concepts,indicator measurement,research process,influencing factors,action paths,summary,and outlook.Analyze and explain concepts and indicator measurement methods related to neighborhood environment and quality of life.Analyzing the research progress at home and abroad,it can be found that relevant studies abroad have earlier focused on quality of life,expanding the research scope of elderly health from multiple aspects such as physiology,psychology,and society,and the research content is rich.The comparative research process is similar both domestically and internationally,but the overall research process in China lags behind.With the rapid development of China's economy and society,the deepening of population aging,and the change of diet structure,chronic diseases have become an important public health problem threatening the life and health of our people.Although domestic research has begun to focus on the impact of different scales of building environments on the subjective well-being and quality of life of elderly people,establishing comprehensive models,exploring internal relationships,and investigating mediating factors,this is still limited.It is currently unclear which factors can affect a person's quality of life,HRQoL,and the extent of their impact in later life.Although many studies have confirmed the significant impact of neighborhood environment on the quality of life of elderly people and explored the complex relationships between these effects,existing research still has some shortcomings in analyzing the factors that affect related studies.One is the lack of in-depth exploration of research effectiveness,mainly manifested in the relatively wide scope of existing research subjects,and subjective questionnaires are also used to measure neighborhood environment and quality of life,with insufficient accuracy.The second issue is that the impact of different influencing factors on different quality of life and the determinants of high quality of life have not been fully explored.The causal relationship between neighborhood environment and qualitxy of life is a challenge for future research.In addition,current research on the impact of neighborhood environment on HRQoL is limited,with a single research perspective.However,as the impact of chronic diseases on the elderly deepens,HRQoL will be a focus of future research.Finally,future research prospects were proposed from four aspects:research objects,research methods,research perspectives,and research content.Studies have shown that we should capture neighborhood environmental factors,pay attention to group differences and vulnerable social classes,focus on longitudinal and comparative research,supplement diverse research perspectives and interdisciplinary research,strengthen exploration of impact mechanisms and future practices,and provide support and reference for empirical research and planning practices in this field at home and abroad.
