Rationale for Study Group

Explore intergenerational perceptions on awareness, knowledge and motivations toward healthspan and lifespan, barriers and enablers in rural and urban Java, Indonesia.

In 2023, 58% of Indonesians lived in urban areas, with 42% in rural regions. About one-third of families comprised three generations under one roof. Parents traditionally care for their young, while children are expected to support their parents in old age. Understanding lifespan and healthspan from these perspectives can inform future health interventions and policy reforms.
