| Abstract | The high statistical incidence of diseases in the elderly, particularly at the top ranks, includescancer and tumors which accounted for 19.61%, circulatory system diseases for 15.72%,neurological system diseases for 14.63%, and respiratory system diseases for 14.03%. Thesediseases have a strong relation with VOC, PM2.5, CO2, air temperature and humidity whichmust be minimized. Thailand enters into an aging society therefore it is necessary to extendthe working age in an alignment with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); Goal 3: ensurehealthy lives and promote well-being for all ages and Goal 8.8: protect labor rights and promotesafe and secure working environments. The technique of mixed-methods research was conductedwith Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Health problems of the elderly workers were studiedaccording to the standards, laws, and the development of assessment models reflecting theHealthy Senior Workplace Index and simplified assessment concepts compliant with the elderlylaws and workplace environments, utilizing WELL and fitwel standards focusing more onbuilding the environments than others. A literature review on disease causes was conducted toconstruct a structured questionnaire with 97% index of item objective congruence. A survey wasconducted online with fifteen qualified public health experts, employing a snowball samplingmethod and Likert scale (0-5) to assess the relationship between the environment and diseases.AHP reveals PM2.5, temperature, VOC, and CO2 accounted for 41.52% having higher importanceweights than other factors, integrated to variables in the Healthy Senior Workplace Index.An assessment for office building environments for elderly workers was developed, achieving aCronbach's Alpha Coefficient of 0.99 in reliability testing through an online survey distributedto thirty building inspection experts and engineers. Real-time IoT was combined with pastphysical environment records to facilitate efficient assessments. |
