Factors Influencing the Satisfaction of Elderly People

Abstract

The paper analyzes the level of life satisfaction and the influencing factors by using bivariate correlation analysis and regression models. The data analysis reveals that the level of life satisfaction among older adults differs according to gender, health, marital status, and participation in community activities. Accordingly, physical health and marital status have significant impacts. Additionally, their active participation in community activities, particularly through engaging in friend conversations and social activities, positively influences life satisfaction. The study emphasizes the importance of community involvement in improving the mental health and life satisfaction of older adults, and proposes policies to support the elderly in fulfilling their roles within the community.
