dc.description.abstractThe study examined the factors determining spatial variations in aging of population in Ilorin west local Government Area of Kwara State. A multi-stage sampling approach was used to collect data from a survey of 210 aged respondents in Ilorin West LGA of kwara state. Factor analysis was used to reduce the dataset as well as determine the variables accounting for spatial variability. Therefore, 14 variables were identified which altogether explained 66.29% of the variance explanation. Multiple and stepwise multiple regression were used to rewrite the model equation with intention to arrive at the best fitted model. This revealed that only 13 variables were actually important in the explanation,and they all contributed 57.4% explanation to the pattern of aging in ilorin west LGA. The most important aging influencing factor in the study area were material support(Mtsp), Health Insurance (Hein), and Marriage(Marr). They each contributes 16.3%,8.5% and 8.0% respectively to the explanation. It is concluded that, spatial variations does exist in factors influencing aging as well as the 60+ population. It's however recommended that, to promote healthy and productive aging in later years of life, there is the need to adopt socio-welfare policies as well as structures preserving our most cherished traditional filial relationships and obligations, whilst also seeing older people as contributors rather than burdens to the society.en_US
