“…In addition, the results showed that demographics indirectly affect GWB through emotional stability. These findings are consistent with several studies (21,23,42) and inconsistent with other results (28,43). In general, there are controversial findings on the role of demographic factors in well-being.…”

“…Emotional stability refers to the capacity to remain relaxed or comfortable, when an individual encounters distress and adversities (24,26). Studies have shown that people with adverse socioeconomic factors and non-resiliency experience negative emotions and emotional instability that in turn results in diminished well-being (15,27,28). People with emotional instability have inefficient strategies to solve interpersonal problems, leading to a reduction in their GWB (2,26).…”

Indeed, some authors have concluded that LS is age-sensitive (29) and increases with age (30). Increasing LS in older people has been attributed to changes in self-perception and personal adjustments to their established goals (31), which could be applied to satisfaction with food-related life.…”

Objective: To distinguish typologies of seniors according to their levels of satisfaction with life and food-related life, and to characterize them according to the importance assigned to family, health-related aspects, eating habits, nutritional status and sociodemographic characteristics. Material and methods: A survey was administered to a non-probabilistic sample of 817 seniors aged 60 years and over, of both genders, resident in urban and rural zones of the province of Guayas, Ecuador. The instrument included: Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), Satisfaction with Food-related Life (SWFL), the Health-related Quality of Life Index (HRQOL-4) and the Family Importance Scale (FIS). Eating habits, sociodemographic variables, approximate weight and height were asked about. Results: A cluster analysis was used to distinguish three typologies that differed signifi cantly in the scores on the SWLS, SWFL, FIS, number of days with mental health problems, self-perception of health status, body mass index, eating habits and zone of residence. Two typologies presented high levels of satisfaction with life and food-related life, although the variables associated with overall well-being and in the food domain were different in each typology. Conclusions:The results suggest that high levels of satisfaction with life and food-related life in Ecuadorian seniors are associated with both healthful eating habits and having lunch in company, fewer mental health problems and greater importance assigned to family. ResumenObjetivo: distinguir tipologías de adultos mayores según sus niveles de satisfacción con la vida y con la alimentación, y caracterizarlas según la importancia asignada a la familia, aspectos relacionados a la salud, hábitos alimentarios, estado nutricional y características sociodemográfi cas.

Se consultaron hábitos alimentarios, variables sociodemográfi cas, peso y estatura aproximada. Resultados: mediante análisis clúster se distinguieron tres tipologías que difi rieron signifi cativamente en los puntajes de la SWLS, SWFL, FIS, número de días con problemas de salud mental, autopercepción del estado de salud, índice de masa corporal, hábitos alimentarios y zona de residencia. Dos tipologías presentaron altos niveles de satisfacción con la vida y con la alimentación, aunque las variables asociadas al bienestar general y en el dominio de la alimentación fueron diferentes en cada tipología. Conclusiones: los resultados sugieren que altos niveles de satisfacción con la vida y con la alimentación en adultos mayores ecuatorianos se asocian tanto con hábitos alimentarios saludables como con almorzar en...

“…If the level of significance is raised above 0.05, only income has influence. This result is interesting to be observed because it is different from Agrawal et al (2011). Agrawal et al research (2011) actually shows the great influence of one's socio-demographic condition on SWB.…”

Housing needs in major cities in Indonesia are increasing due to urbanization. The solution taken by the government is to provide rental housing (rusunawa). Low income families who initially live in slums need some adaption when moving into the rusunawa. The purpose of this research is to analyze the socio-demographic relationships of families, social capital and subjective well-being (SWB). Using quantitative method and household survey, this study was conducted by giving questionnaires and interview to 90 residents of 396 rusunawa units. The study use regression analysis. Thus, the result shows that social capital, the social network, and trust, determine the SWB. If SWB is an indicator of the process of adaption of a person or family in a new place, in this study, we concluded that these two variables were very important for the resident. Using social networking and trust, these residents can adjust to a new housing milieu.
