Project summary:

Frailty in older adults increases the risk of adverse health events. Early detection and a multidisciplinary approach and/or
management, especially one based on physical activity and a balanced diet, have been proven as effective in reversing
frailty. In 2016, +AGIL, an implementation-research program, was launched in a Basic Health Area (BHA) of Barcelona,
offering personalized interventions aimed at fragile, older adults living in the community, by adopting an integrated and
coordinated approach among primary care givers, geriatricians and community stakeholders. The positive effects of

AGIL on reducing frailty at both 3 and 6 months, even in persons with cognitive decline, represent the point of

departure for the adaptation and expansion of the program in three other BHAs of the city. However, given that certain
characteristics of the urban/built environment can influence physical activity patterns, these must be taken in account,
along with the overall social and physical environment of program participants. Thus, urban friendliness emerges as an
important factor in maintaining the older population of Barcelona active and healthy.

Our goal in the present project is to define and characterize an index for evaluating the level of urban friendliness facing
older adults living in Barcelona with different socioeconomic levels.

For this purpose, we propose:
1. To define and
develop, using participatory co-design techniques, an index of urban friendliness for older adults; 2. To evaluate the
applicability and feasibility of using the developed index; 3. To create maps of urban friendliness corresponding to the
different BHAs in question, using spatial analysis methodologies that are supported by open code and are replicable; 4.
To compare the urban friendliness maps of the different BHAs in question; 5. To share results with the different
