Abstract

Background: Health-conscious behavior, physical exercise, and good mental health are essential for healthy aging. A person's social and emotional needs can be met through community-based events and support networks, where "social prescription" is applied to promote well-being. This concept recognizes that biological variables alone are insufficient to determine mental health and that social influence plays a significant role. Healthy aging is influenced by several factors, including social influences, health-conscious choices, physical activity, and psychological well-being. Objective: This study aimed to explore the effects of social prescription for healthy aging on health consciousness behavior, physical activity, and mental well-being. Methods: This study was conducted across various regions in China and included a diverse and representative sample of participants (N=5600) to ensure a robust and inclusive analysis. This study used a cross-sectional research strategy, which allowed the researchers to take a snapshot of the participants' experiences and opinions at a particular time. Results: The results for hypotheses H1 (0.074 path coefficient, 5.470 t-statistic, and p <0.001), H2 (0.138 path coefficient, 10.253 t-statistic, and p <0.001), H3 (0.232 path coefficient, 17.667 t-statistic, and p <0.001), H4 (0.169 path coefficient, 12.184 t-statistic, and p <0.001), H5 (0.459 path coefficient, 24.568 t-statistic, and p <0.001), H6 (0.517 path coefficient, 31.063 t-statistic, and p <0.001), H7 (0.414 path coefficient, 20.153 t-statistic, and p <0.001), H8 (0.342 path coefficient, 15.556 t-statistic, and p <0.001), and H9 (0.360 path coefficient, 17.182 t-statistic, and p <0.001) were significant and supported. Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that people's perspectives and attitudes toward healthy aging can be improved through the combined effects of social prescriptions, physical activity, health consciousness behavior, and mental well-being.
