What is the role of rural communities in promoting the physical and mental health of the elderly？

You’re welcome.

Thanks!

The rural environment also offers many strengths and opportunities for those aging within its context. Such communities are often praised for being very tight-knit in terms of social networks and supports. These networks can consist of family, friends, neighbours, church members, and so forth. For older adults who have lived most of their lives in one rural community, such networks can be long-standing and very strong. The support from family and friends can have a positive influence on life satisfaction for rural aging residents and that strong, informal ties tend to benefit nonurban older adults more than their urban or suburban counterparts in terms of an increased sense of well-being
