Abstract
Knowledge derived from the research and experience in the aging and older adults can be processed and integrated into public policies and programs. This study presents a multidisciplinary investigation of societal changes resulting from an aging population. Knowledge translation research in gerontology is the scientific study of the methods to promote the uptake of research findings by aging patients, health care providers, organizations, and policymakers. The barriers and facilitators that influence evidence-based gerontology, frameworks, and tools are also discussed. Public policy decisions are important toward the elderly populations’ better quality of life and improving parameters of daily living through evidence-based practice.
