Key Points
Significant disparities exist in healthy ageing knowledge and practices between urban and rural communities, affecting elderly care outcomes.
Elderly individuals recognize benefits of exercise and healthy diets; however, rural areas lack structured wellness programs and regular outreach efforts.
Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with key informants, incorporating views from community leaders and health officials in both settings.
Sustainable healthy ageing requires improved rural healthcare access, operationalizing elderly care units, and community-based initiatives to bridge the gaps.
