Abstract

With China’s aging population trend accelerating and the phenomenon of empty-nest seniors intensifying, this study employs the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to explore design methodologies for age-friendly bathroom products. This approach aims to enhance seniors’ quality of life and safety while fully considering their physical and psychological characteristics. First, information on bathroom products for the elderly was gathered through questionnaires and user interviews, followed by attribute classification based on their needs analysis. Second, the AHP hierarchical analysis method was introduced to construct a hierarchical model of elderly needs. A judgment matrix was established, weight coefficients were calculated, and comprehensive rankings were determined. Finally, consistency tests were conducted to validate the rationality of the design scheme. This process derived the priority levels of design elements for age-friendly bathroom products, guiding practical design efforts. The goal is to create age-friendly bathroom products that offer both operational convenience and high safety for the elderly in home settings, while also providing research insights and references for the design of similar age-friendly products.
