The Joanna Briggs Institute Population-Concept-Context framework was used to define the eligibility criteria and select studies reporting practices or interventions aimed at achieving a long health span or promoting healthy longevity carried out in the community. Data were manually extracted by 2 independent reviewers to detail the characteristics of these practices and interventions and guide the data charting process and narrative synthesis. Six databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, CINAHL, and Google Scholar) were searched for academic papers published between January 2010 and February 2025.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n A total of 21 studies met the inclusion criteria. Most studies (n=15, 71%) were published after 2020 and were predominantly conducted in high-income settings (n=17, 81%) across North America, Europe, and Asia. Four study types were identified: interventional (n=7, 33%), intervention development (n=4, 19%), association (n=5, 24%), and descriptive (n=5, 24%). Interventional and intervention development studies primarily described multicomponent programs targeting individual and social determinants of health and generally reported beneficial effects on physical, cognitive, and psychosocial outcomes. Association studies linked micro-, meso-, and macro-level factors (eg, nutrition, household expenditure, housing quality, health insurance, and public financing policy) to healthy longevity indicators. Descriptive studies highlighted themes across the micro and meso levels, including finance, physical activity, mental and spiritual health, digital literacy, independent living, safety, social support, and health care support.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n The identified community-based strategies, practices, and policies that extend health span represent the joint efforts of multiple stakeholders and disciplines. The implementation of these practices and policies is worthy of being supported. More studies in diverse socioeconomic contexts are needed.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2196\/94085","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,8]],"date-time":"2026-09-08T20:23:17Z","timestamp":1788898997000},"page":"e94085-e94085","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Enhancing Healthy Longevity: Scoping Review of Practices and Interventions"],"prefix":"10.2196","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9836-1925","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Angela Yee Man","family":"Leung","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0074-6430","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karen Siu Lan","family":"Cheung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2853-5202","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kai-ling","family":"Ou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4597-8929","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ivy Yan","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9016-6455","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Min","family":"Qiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-3334-067X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ka Ming","family":"Wan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2435-8061","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jed","family":"Montayre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5068-2340","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yaqi","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1010","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,8]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"R1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"6","DOI":"10.53941\/alr.2025.100006","article-title":"Rethinking ageing research: from lifespan to healthspan","volume":"1","author":"Mather","journal-title":"Ageing Longev Res"},{"issue":"3","key":"R2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7759\/cureus.55495","article-title":"Harnessing genetics to extend lifespan and healthspan: current progress and future directions","volume":"16","author":"Ankrah","journal-title":"Cureus"},{"issue":"12","key":"R3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamanetworkopen.2024.50241","article-title":"Global healthspan-lifespan gaps among 183 World Health Organization member states","volume":"7","author":"Garmany","journal-title":"JAMA Netw Open"},{"issue":"Suppl 4","key":"R4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"iv6","DOI":"10.1093\/ageing\/afad126","article-title":"The capability approach and the WHO healthy ageing framework (for the UN Decade of Healthy Ageing)","volume":"52","author":"Venkatapuram","journal-title":"Age Ageing"},{"issue":"12","key":"R5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e828","DOI":"10.1016\/S2666-7568(21)00250-6","article-title":"The longevity economy","volume":"2","author":"Scott","journal-title":"Lancet Healthy Longev"},{"issue":"1","key":"R6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12874-018-0611-x","article-title":"Systematic review or scoping review?
