Abstract [en]

Background and Purpose: Possibilities to age in place are increasingly important with the demographic shift toward aging populations. With the Person-Place Fit Measure for Older Adults (PPFM-OA), older adults self-assess how their home and community environments suit their needs. The aim of the study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Swedish version of PPFM-OA. Methods: Four hundred sixty community-living adults aged 65 and older answered the PPFM-OA. Rasch model was used for analyses. Results: A reduced 19-item version of PPFM-OA showed sufficient evidence of validity in response processes, internal structure, fairness in testing, and reliability/precision. Conclusions: The reduced version is recommended to use in Sweden to capture person-place fit, an aspect to consider when communities, healthcare, and elder care aim to facilitate aging in place.
