Abstract:
This study aims to analyse people’s understanding of social banking and to explore the factors affecting the acceptance of social banking in Thailand. The sample is a group of 650 Thai adults aged 55 years and older who usually access the Internet and are able to conduct financial transactions through online banking. The data was collected via an online survey and analysed using multinomial logistic regression. The findings indicate that 54.6% of respondents accepted social banking, while 45.4% of them rejected social banking. Education level, savings, and understanding of social banking have an influence on the acceptance of social banking in Thailand. The paper suggests that social banks should extend opportunities to older adult customers who might be rejected for small project loans by commercial banks and offer them good deals. As a result, they can live independently and confidently and are not excluded from society since they are able to contribute economically and create value for society. Moreover, social banks should launch training programmes or provide useful information about social banking to such customers as it can increase the reputation and social awareness of social banks and enhance the acceptance of social banking in Thailand

Abstract:
Elderly populations are growing rapidly worldwide, thus enhancing an increasing need for their independent health care, productivity, and most importantly, balance of occupations. This research is aimed at investigating the active ageing levels and time use patterns of an elderly population attending the Community Elderly School in a suburban village of northern Thailand. These participants comprised 140 persons aged 60 years and older and were without cognitive deficits, based on the Mini-Mental State Examination. Active ageing levels and time use patterns were collected by following an interview-based questionnaire. The results showed that the level of active ageing was moderate (mean active ageing index (AAI) was 0.79). All of the participants used their time in varied activities, including the seven categories: basic activities of daily living, instrumental activities of daily living, rest and sleep, education, work, leisure, and social participation. Furthermore, they spent most of their time resting and sleeping.

Abstract:
This article aims to relate the impact of ageing, social isolation, or loneliness on the health and well-being of elderlies in Thailand and India, and measures of intervention through social care and integration to reduce the negative impact while promoting participation to lead to active and healthy ageing among ageing elderlies. Qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interview questions from 24 participants, 80 years and above, 12 each from Imphal City of Manipur State, India, and Nakhon Pathom Province of Thailand. The city or province of the study was selected according to the convenience of the researchers. In-depth interviews with key informants, including 4 administrators from India and Thailand, were also conducted. The analysis of the collected data found intervention activities, individually as well as in groups, such as networking with the local people, the establishment of an elderly school which is needed to be taken up by family and society for bringing productive and active ageing. As loneliness or isolation, due to immobility and fewer social contacts, has impacted the health, and longevity of elderlies, the study discusses a wide range of intervention strategies consisting of social facilitation, community approach, socio-religious engagement, health, and social care. This study has concluded with the need for organized appropriate long-term intervention strategies to create meaningful social contacts and connections, for loneliness and social isolation in the life of the elderly is not a phenomenon that can be ignored any longer as it has many impacts on the quality of life of the ageing population.

Abstract:
Abstract Background Falls are the leading cause of injuries in older adults in Thailand. Exercise appears to be a strategy to reduce falls. There is a need to develop a fall prevention exercise programme to encourage participation and adherence. The adapted Lifestyle-integrated Functional Exercise (aLiFE) programme may be suitable by integrating exercise into daily routines as opposed to attending an exercise class. This study aimed to explore the acceptability and feasibility of the aLiFE programme in older Thai adults and identify if modifications are necessary for this population. Method To obtain older Thai adults' perspectives and stakeholders’ views, 40 community-dwelling older adults aged ≥ 60 years, in urban and rural locations in Thailand, and 14 stakeholders (e.g. healthcare professionals) working with older Thai adults were included. Qualitative methods were used to conduct focus groups and in-depth interviews with older adults, and semi-structured interviews with stakeholders. Thematic analyses using Framework Approach were conducted. Results Findings revealed positive views and identified four themes including: (a) individual factors, (b) perceptions of aLiFE, (c) recommendations for implementing aLiFE in Thailand, and (d) motivation. Older participants expressed interest in performing aLiFE in their daily activities, although some activities may need to be modified to fit the Thai cultural context. Stakeholders were concerned about how to motivate older Thai adults to adhere to aLiFE. Healthcare professionals and family members could play a major role to support older adults in uptake of aLiFE. Benefits (e.g. independence and fall prevention) may motivate older adults to engage in aLiFE. Clear and simple instructions were requested. Conclusion The aLiFE programme should be feasible and acceptable among older Thai adults. The aLiFE programme has been appropriately modified to be ‘Thai LiFE (TLiFE)’. A feasibility randomised controlled trial of the TLiFE programme has been conducted in older Thai adults.

Abstract:
Background. There is an important need to characterize risk factors for disability in Thailand, in order to inform effective prevention and control strategies. This study investigated factors associated with risk of 6 types of disability in Thailand’s ageing population in 2002, 2007, and 2011.Methods. Data came from the Cross-Sectional National Surveys of Older Persons in Thailand conducted by the National Statistical Office (NSO) in 2002, 2007, and 2011. Stratified two-stage sampling was employed. Interviews of 24,835, 30,427, and 34,173 elderly people aged 60 and above were conducted in the respective study years. Prevalence of disabilities was measured, and factors associated with disability risk were assessed with probability-weighted multiple logistic regression.Results. Disability prevalence decreased slightly over the study period. The characteristics with greatest positive impact on disability prevalence were not working over the past week (average impact: 61.2%), age (53.7% per decade), and suffering from one or more chronic illnesses (46.3%).Conclusions. The strong observed positive impact of not working on disability prevalence suggests that raising the mandatory retirement age might result in some reduction of disability risk. Also, the observed positive impact of living with others (versus alone) on disability risk was somewhat unexpected.

Abstract:
The ASEAN Economic Community is envisaged to promote economic integration initiatives to create a single market across Southeast Asian member countries. It is acknowledged that the intergovernmental initiatives need to be accommodative to national and regional contexts. Thailand, as a pivotal and active partnership, endeavours to facilitate economic transformation and regional integration within the ASEAN and cope with population ageing in Thai society. Since Thailand has been the third most rapidly ageing country in the world, demographic changes pose new challenges for how to achieve persistent economic growth, productive employment and decent work. This article is based on a qualitative approach to investigate the emergent inequality within and across age cohorts shaped by the AEC structural forces, as well as utilizes reliable secondary data to formulate argumentation, including academic publications, policy analysis, scientific reports. We are particularly concerned about the heterogeneity and poverty in old age from the perspective of cumulative advantages/disadvantages. In conclusion, this article suggests policy recommendations of mitigating inequality in old age and advocates a critical lens to examine how political economic structure shapes older individuals in the labour market.

Abstract:
The ageing population is having an impact worldwide and has created a serious challenge in Thailand’s healthcare systems, whereby healthcare practitioners play a major role in promoting independent interaction of their client’s abilities, as well as environmental factors. The purpose of this study was to survey features of the home and assistive technology (AT) for the home-bound elderly in the community of Chiang Mai, Thailand. Home evaluation included features inside and outside the home, and AT was based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) concept. Methods included observation and an interview that were used by the researcher for evaluation. The study found that every home had at least one hazardous home feature such as inappropriate width of the door, high door threshold, tall stair steps, no bedside rail, and inappropriate height of the toilet pan. AT was found in houses as general products and technology for personal use in daily living and for personal indoor and outdoor mobility as well as transportation. Therefore, home features and AT can afford the home-bound elderly independent living within the community. Perspective AT according to the ICF concept could provide a common language for ageing in place benefits.

Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: Rapid economic growth is transforming Thailand into a middle-income country. Also emerging are chronic diseases particularly hypertension, diabetes mellitus and kidney disease. There are few studies of the incidence of hypertension. We analyse the effect on 8-year incidence of hypertension of transitional health-risk factors including demography, socioeconomic status (SES), body mass index (BMI), sedentariness, physical activity, underlying diseases, personal behaviours, food, fruit and vegetable consumption.DESIGN & METHODS: Health-risk factors and their effects on the incidence of hypertension were evaluated prospectively in the national Thai Cohort Study from 2005 to 2013. All data were derived from 40,548 Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University students returning mail-based questionnaire surveys in both 2005 and 2013. Adjusted relative risks of association between each risk factor and incidence of hypertension were calculated after controlling for confounding factors.RESULTS: In Thailand, the 8-year incidence of hypertension was 5.1% (men 7.1%, women 3.6%). Hypertension was associated with ageing, higher BMI, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, high lipids, SES, lower education level, lower household asset, physical inactivity, smoking, instant food intake and soft drink. Sex, having a partner, urbanization and sedentary habits had no influence on hypertension.CONCLUSION: In Thailand, hypertension is becoming a serious risk factor for chronic disease with a wide array of associations with modern life. As Thailand’s socio-economy develops the health-risk transition will further impact on population health. Thais should be encouraged by government policy to consume less instant food, maintain normal BMI, increased physical activity, stop smoking and consume less soft drink.

Abstract:
Due to the rapid increase in population and the change in age structure toward the elderly, the phenomenon of societal ageing is being witnessed in many countries. The elderly travel less than the adult population due to decreasing mobility with an increasing age. In this study, we aimed to analyze the expectations and satisfaction of public transport users in Thailand using traditional importance performance analysis (IPA), gap analysis, and IPA integrated with competitor performance. We aimed to explain the differences in the analysis results produced by the three methods. The data were obtained from surveying 2250 elderly and 450 non-elderly adults. This study presents guidelines for improving the public transport service quality in Thailand to meet user needs. The results of this research showed that each approach provides its own distinctive aspects and theoretical differences, which lead to different interpretations. The results from the three approaches showed that equipment that increases safety for public transportation service users is an important factor for all elderly passengers that must be improved. Public transportation services in different regions should be developed to provide more reliable and regular services.

Abstract:
The report World Population Ageing 1950–2050 (United Nations, 2002) estimated that in 2005 there were 37.3 million elderly people (i.e. aged 65 years or more) in South-East Asia (a region incorporating Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam). There are only a few epidemiological studies on mental disorders among elderly people in this region and the published data are mainly from Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. Using Singapore's prevalence rate of 3% for dementia and 5.7% for depression, the numbers of elderly people with dementia in this region would be 1.2 million and with depression 2.12 million (Kua, 1992; Kua & Ko, 1995). However, even in Singapore, we have identified only 10% of all potential cases of dementia and depression — meaning that the large majority of elderly people with mental disorders are not detected, although they may be known, for other reasons, to the health services.

Focusing on age issue, the empirical results have found that the early growth will reduce the risk aversion and embrace the risk, aggressively. Once the age reaches 65, the personal risk aversion will increase with this age issue, accordingly. It is reasonable that in the working-age, the expected income and capital investment will give time to tolerate personal risk losses, accumulate profits, and will eventually achieve the level of wealth. However, in the retirement-age of 65, along with zero income, stable assets dominate one’s living standard, and this mental safeguard will change the allocation of personal assets from risk capital to fixed Income to reach the ultimate goal of elderly life. This essay, based on the empirical evidence of risk aversion for age 65, emphasizes the impact of ageing population ratio degree of three stages from elementary 7～14%, intermediate 14～21%, and to superior 21% above, trying to figure out that how ageing population rate change along with risk tendency between working-age and retirement-age affects equity risk premium? It investigates China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand, affected by the aging issues in the Asia Pacific region as examples, combines changes of ageing ratio, dependency ratio, GDP deflator, and consumption expenditure as predictor variables, and analyzes these markets in time series from 1960 to 2016 for how ageing population rate change affects equity risk premium? By the empirical results in-depth analysis, changes of ageing ratio and dependency ratio have negative coefficient with risk premium. This ageing population structure forces retirement group to take risk and burden volatility from stock markets, which shows a different perspective in our previous studies. Only by facing the music of ageing issues can we seize the opportunity to build a bold strategy for a place’s promising future.

Abstract:
This chapter looks into the last three emerging areas in rural health, namely, older persons, migration, and technology. Population ageing is a global phenomenon. The growth in the number of older people is faster in developing regions, including many Asian countries like Thailand. Many of the elders living in rural areas are experiencing changes associated with sociodemographic development, such as adult offspring moving away, changes in living arrangements, and being responsible for the care of grandchildren. With the rapidly growing number of older persons, more planning and support from society is needed to improve their healthcare and quality of life. This chapter looks into the last three emerging areas in rural health, namely, older persons, migration, and technology. Specific issues for individual countries are included and discussed in textbox format.

Abstract:
Spatial density measures are an important tool for future healthcare planning, particularly in Northeast Thailand where the ageing population has rapidly increased for a decade. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship of geographic and elderly population density in Chiang Yuen district, Mahasarakham province, to ascertain suitable areas for elderly healthcare centres. The data of the elderly located in the villages were collected by the Global Position System (GPS) using Kernel density method to employ the analysis of population density, and GIS for healthcare mapping, and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) as multiple criteria decision-making tools. Factors were determined by using the overlay analysis method, where social, physical and economic factors were variables of interest that were used for the analysis of suitable areas for Elderly Healthcare Centres. The results revealed that the spatial density of the elderly population could be divided into four levels: Low density for the agriculture areas, medium density for agricultural areas including small villages. High density for the areas near communities and public area services and highest density for the centre of towns. The most suitable area was an area with many elderly inhabitants in the community, near transportation routes including main highways leading to other areas. In conclusion, the results confirmed that the density of elderly and proximity to both local stores and transport would make the lower part of Chiang Yuen Sub-district a suitable area to establish a healthcare centre for the elderly, therefore, the authorities and stakeholders should recognise this in planning.
