Abstract :
The Triple A project at QUT performed a national wide postal survey of older Australian on a wide range of ´work´, learning´, ´social´, ´spiritual´, ´emotional´, ´health and home´, ´life events´ and ´demographics´ variables. With the use of predictive modelling techniques, this paper examines the impact of these interrelated variables on older people. The predictive modelling results successfully highlight interesting trends in the data and describe the significance of different factors in achieving active ageing
