The multinational research collaboration now known as GARNet was formed for the purpose of identifying and examining the environmental and social factors which determine the ageing well process among individuals in GARNet’s member countries.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Global Ageing Research Network (GARNet) is a research association developed by the United Nations and the International Association of Gerontology. It is a collaboration of researchers from 12 member countries like the USA, the UK, Australia etc., under various disciplines like Psychology, Anthropology, Sociology, Medical Sciences, etc.
The main goal of GARNet is to identify the determiners of ageing well and examining them and creating an index. This index is created based on the following domains – physical health and functional status, mental and cognitive effectiveness, social support resources, daily life activities, and material security.
This index helps to compare data sets among the member countries, to understand the factors of ageing, and to formulate necessary steps to promote ageing well.
