Analytical hierarchy process (AHP) ranking of criteria for staying active and healthy in old age

Öz

One of the most critical periods of human life is old age. Because healthy and successful aging processes increase the average human life expectancy. The prolongation of life affects the old age period, which is one of the periods of life. In other words, although the average human life-span increases, it is the period of old age that gets longer. It is increasingly important for society and aging individuals to spend this period healthily and actively considering the aging tendency of the demographic structure. Thus, it is crucial to design, shape and rank the criteria necessary for effectively managing healthy and active aging. Classification is made possible by being able to choose according to the incompatibilities between the alternatives formed by the options and to create a category within this framework. This method is defined as multi-criteria decision making. A multi-criteria decision-making method creates a systematic order among complex, intricate and contradictory alternatives. This method provides systematic solutions to incompatibilities between alternatives. One of the most widely used multi-criteria decision-making methods is the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). AHP provides a hierarchical ranking of criteria in the decision-making process. In this study, the criteria for healthy and active aging were analyzed in order of importance. Thus, prioritized factors that can improve people's quality of life were identified. In the study, the criteria needed for healthy and active aging were evaluated using the AHP method in both quantitative and qualitative contexts and the data were analyzed through the resulting mapping. With this method, it is aimed to determine the hierarchical priorities of the criteria for staying healthy and adopting an active life and to put forward a predictive initiative. According to the analysis results, the top five criteria for active and healthy aging are “managing chronic diseases in old age, regular health checkups in old age, effective safety and adequate housing, regular exercise habits in old age, and maintaining a sleep routine in old age.”
