Healthy ageing is a public health problem globally. In Europe, the dependency ratio of the elderly is expected to increase by 21.6 per cent to 51.2 per cent in 2070. The World Health Organization (WHO) study on healthy ageing started in 2002 as a concept whereby all people of all ages should be able to live in a healthy, safe and socially inclusive way. The aim of this study is to present preliminary results of the project Identification of Determinants of Healthy Ageing in Italy (IDAGIT) that aimed to collect data on the active and healthy ageing of the Italian population aged over 18 using the conceptual framework of the WHO's ageing model. To link the determinants of the IDAGIT studies to those of the WHO model, we performed a confirmatory factor analysis which reported these variables as significant (in order of factor loading): smoking, cognition score, comorbidity, outdoor built environment, participation, working expertise and income. Considering comorbidity, 83.8 per cent of the sample declared not having any chronic diseases or to have only one, and regarding neurological diseases, only nine people had received a diagnosis of stroke. Regarding gender, the personal determinants and physical and social environments did not result in statistically significant differences, whereas we found statistical differences between the aged groups in all variables analysed. These results provide a first bio-psycho-social perspective on ageing in the Italian population.

健康衰老是全球范围内的公共健康问题。在欧洲，预计到2070年，老年人的抚养比将增加21.6％，达到51.2％。世界卫生组织（WHO）关于健康衰老的研究始于2002年，该概念旨在使所有年龄段的人们都能够以健康，安全和社会包容的方式生活。这项研究的目的是提出“意大利健康老龄问题的决定因素”（IDAGIT）项目的初步结果，该项目旨在利用世界卫生组织老龄化的概念框架收集有关18岁以上意大利人口活跃和健康老龄化的数据模型。为了将IDAGIT研究的决定因素与WHO模型的决定因素联系起来，我们进行了验证性因素分析，结果表明这些变量具有显着性（按因素负荷顺序）：吸烟，认知得分，合并症，室外建筑环境，参与程度，工作专长和收入。考虑到合并症，有83.8％的样本宣布没有任何慢性疾病或仅患有一种慢性疾病，而对于神经系统疾病，只有9人被诊断出患有中风。关于性别，个人决定因素以及身体和社会环境并没有导致统计学上的显着差异，而我们发现，在分析的所有变量中，老年组之间的统计差异。这些结果提供了关于意大利人口老龄化的第一个生物心理社会视角。在神经系统疾病方面，只有9人被诊断出患有中风。关于性别，个人决定因素以及身体和社会环境并没有导致统计学上的显着差异，而我们发现，在分析的所有变量中，老年组之间的统计差异。这些结果为意大利人口老龄化提供了第一个生物-心理-社会视角。在神经系统疾病方面，只有9人被诊断出患有中风。关于性别，个人决定因素以及身体和社会环境并没有导致统计学上的显着差异，而我们发现，在分析的所有变量中，老年组之间的统计差异。这些结果提供了关于意大利人口老龄化的第一个生物心理社会视角。
