We emphasize the importance of addressing the unique needs of culturally diverse and low-resource communities. Our commitment lies in producing innovative and transdisciplinary research that translates into practical solutions for the cognitive, psychological, physical, social, personal, financial, and environmental challenges faced by the aging population globally. Ultimately, our goal is to enhance the <strong>'Quality Living'<\/strong> for older adults through this comprehensive and collaborative approach to research.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div
