“…This relation becomes stronger in old age, due to the scale of chronic diseases. Well-being as body satisfaction was researched by Sabik and Cole (2017) for the European-American and African-American senior women. It was found that the European-American women are more vulnerable to the negative impacts of the ageing process to the body.…”

<p>The article discusses the social factors of psychological well-being of elderly people. Psychological well-being is a personal phenomenon. It forms in the process of human activity and in the system of people`s real relationships with surrounding objects. In old age psychological well-being is determined by different factors. The social factor is one of them. It has been found that higher levels of psychological well-being have those elderly people who do not feel themselves lonely, who have enough opportunities to communicate with other people, who take part in a social life, who live with relatives. Specifics of everyday activity in older age are not substantially related to psychological well-being.</p>

“…In another study examining the relationship between age identity and body image with African and American women, it was found that there were cultural differences with regards to the level of negativity surrounding age identity which was notably higher amongst American women (Sabik, Cole, 2017). In this context, it can be stated that body image and the perception of gender, which has a cultural basis, are also related to age identity.…”

Subjective age is a concept that represents the age experienced by the individual subjectively. Traditionally, it is asked, “how old do you feel?”. However, over time, various sub-dimensions have been defined and examined in various studies. Studies on the concept of subjective age and its sub-dimension, age identity were reviewed in this review. According to studies, an individual's subjective age is a factor that determines well-being, health, motivation, social participation, and experiences in the aging process. Contrary to the chronological age, which is accepted as the onset of old age, the subjectivity of the aging process and the contexts in which the aging process takes place to determine whether the individual feels old and other factors on which this situation is effective. Moreover, while age identity is affected by the social structure and life situation, it also affects the later experiences of the individual. In this sense, it is revealed that there is a bidirectional relationship with the life situation but the subjective experiences of the aging individual should be taken into account when conducting age-related studies.

“…In the first block, only household income (β = 6.505, t = 4.259, p < 0.001) significantly contributed to QoL, with the model including the two variables predicting almost 8% of the total variance (F [2,268] = 11.560, p < 0.001) (Model 1). After adding the use of facial firming products, hair colouring products, and sunscreen (Model 2), household income remained the only variable contributing to QoL, and the total variance explained increased 2.7% (F [5,265] = 2.686, p = 0.047).…”

“…For women, life expectancy reached 83.4 years [1]. Growing older is accompanied by many physical changes that may affect physical appearance and aesthetic characteristics [2]. Skin ageing is a complex process that involves multiple mechanisms, resulting, in general, in decreased firmness and elasticity, wrinkles, skin sagging, dryness, and lower rate of cell renewal [3, 4].…”

Background: Ageing is accompanied by physical changes, both at the physiological and appearance levels. The way people perceive these changes have important consequences on general health and quality of life (QoL). This study analysed the relationship between sociodemographic variables, psychological variables, use of antiageing cosmetic products/aesthetic treatments, and QoL. Methods: This cross-sectional study included a sample of 271 women, aged between 25 and 70 years, users of antiageing cosmetic products and/or aesthetic services. Participants were assessed on psychological morbidity (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), appearance schemes (Appearance Schemas Inventory -Revised), self-esteem (Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale), perfectionism (Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale), self-perceptions of ageing (Brief Aging Perceptions Questionnaire), and QoL (SF-12v2). Results: Being older and having a higher household income was associated with better QoL. The use of facial firming products, hair colouring products, and sunscreen was also associated with better QoL. Psychological morbidity and perfectionism contributed negatively to QoL, while household income contributed positively. Ageing perceptions moderated the relationship between self-esteem and QoL. Conclusion: According to the findings, intervention programs to reduce psychological morbidity, increase self-esteem, promote more adaptive patterns of perfectionism, and recognize the role of age perception are needed to improve women's QoL. The perceived influence of the usage of cosmetic products to prevent/minimize aging signs should be further explored.
