“…Similarly, Ryff (2014) described the core dimensions of psychological wellbeing as autonomy, environmental mastery, purpose in life, personal growth, positive relationships with others and self-acceptance. Regarding older adults and mental well-being, a paradox has been highlighted in the literature-even though ageing is associated with increased risks of disability and ill-health, mental wellbeing tends to increase from middle age to very old age, even though this phenomenon may be somewhat domain-specific and dependent upon utilized measures (Hansen & Slagsvold, 2012;Kusumastuti et al, 2016;Steptoe, Deaton, & Stone, 2015). It is therefore fitting to explore the key aspects and causal mechanisms of mental well-being in later life, including a focus on the oldest old age group and their own experiences.…”

Purpose: This study aimed to examine how participants aged 80 years old or over describe their mental well-being-exploring the suitability of the model of healthy ageing when outlining the mental well-being concept. Methods: Six structured focus group interviews with 28 participants were conducted in Western Finland in 2017. Qualitative content analysis was performed, where both manifest and latent content was considered in a process involving meaning condensation and coding, followed by categorization. Results: The healthy ageing model constituted a useful framework for the conceptualization of mental well-being, illustrating the links between these two constructs. The analysis resulted in a four-dimensional model of mental well-being in oldest old age, the key components being: Activities-enjoyment and fulfilment; Capability-functioning and independence; Orientationawareness, shifted perspectives and values; and Connectedness-sense of belonging. Conclusions: Although functional status plays an important role for well-being in general, it is not the principal component of self-reported mental well-being within the heterogeneous group of the oldest old. Further, many persons in this age group do not view themselves as passive or dependent, on the contrary, they underline the importance of empowering attitudes, a positive mindset and actively creating circumstances which support their mental well-being.

“…It is predicted that almost 2 billion people will be 60 years or older by the year 2050, accounting for 20% of the global population, aging populations pose economic challenges to society [2].Social attention about aging has shifted from "how to live longer" to "how to age well", how can people age well? Many people, all around the world, regard good health as an important goal in their lives [3].…”

Background Some literatures have found that successful aging and its components were significantly associated with older adults’ health, their achievement has a positive effect on reducing mortality rates. However, there is little evidence to discuss whether education modified the effect of successful aging on morality risk. A majority of literatures from worldwide were cross-sectional andprevious studies on the association between successful aging and mortality in China are quite little. It aims to evaluate the effect of successful aging and each of its components on mortality risk of older in China and further discussed whether education was a moderator in this effect. It also investigated differences in results among males and females. Methods Data was collected from CHARLS (China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study), which is a nationally representative follow-up survey. Cox proportional hazards model was used to estimate the education's moderate effect on the relationship between successful aging and mortality. Results In total, 4824 residents aged 60 years and above were recorded. 15.18%(n=367)for males and 15.74%(n=379) for females were defined as successful aging and the mortality were 2.61%(n=63)for males and 3.45%(n=83) for females during the survey. It is the first longitudinal study using national cohort data to research the educational effects on the association between mortality and successful aging, the study showed that the effect only existed in females aged 65-74 years old group with lower education. Conclusions Education has the significant effect on the relationship between successful aging and mortality. Physical health is significantly associated with the achieving of successful aging among young older. More measures should be paid on improving mental health among the young female older with lower education to achieve successful aging and to against mortality and live longevity.

“…The variations in these results seem to reflect the heterogeneity of SA definitions and the use of a variety of criteria in each definition. Recently, an original review of the literature on SA was carried out using citation network analysis based on scholars' definitions of this concept and how they weighed the contribution of health and functioning to estimate their extent of accomplishment [15]. On analyzing the literature from 1902 through 2015, two distinct citation networks were identified.…”

Background: In the last two decades, successful aging (SA) and positive psychology (PP), the two paradigms of health have received great attention. They originate from different approaches, theoretical background, and objectives. Although they share many characteristics, their association remains understudied. This article aims to empirically analyze their possible interrelation. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 169 healthy, old adults completed several questionnaires to assess the central framework for successful aging and positive psychology. Participants were recruited from recreational centers for older adults. Results: Confirmatory factor analyses with a two-latent-factor structure (SA and PP) showed an adequate fit between them. A unidimensional solution is clearly supported, implying that PP and SA variables actually share the same latent factor. Latent profile analyses revealed that all SA and PP variables shared the same trend: three classes were identified which had
