“…Although previous studies measure healthy aging differently, our review still found similar trends in the demographic, socioeconomic, psychosocial, and behavioral inequalities of healthy aging. For example, men, younger, and married participants tended to be healthier than those who were women, older, and unmarried (Araújo, Ribeiro, Teixeira, & Paúl, 2016; Campos et al, 2016; Cosco et al, 2016; Jaspers et al, 2017; Liu et al, 2017). Older people who had better psychosocial well-being, such as less stress and more family support, could more easily achieve healthy aging than others (Baek, Martin, Siegler, Davey, Poon, 2016; Byun & Jung, 2016; Chukwuorji et al, 2017; Gu, Brown, & Qiu, 2016; Kok, Aartsen, Deeg, & Huisman, 2015).…”

“…Zhang, et al (2015), too, found that finances were influential in the well-being of Chinese elders. In another study of 80 centenarians, Araujo et al (2015) confirmed that having adequate income was an important predictor of successful aging. On the contrary, Dong et al (2015) found that income was not significantly associated with elders' social engagement.…”

This study looked into the possible correlation between successful aging and selected communication-demographic characteristics of Filipino elders. Over 800 elder respondents, ages 60 to 95, males and females, from different places of residence and socioeconomic classes were invited as respondents in the survey. To complement the quantitative data from the survey, interviews and focus-group-discussions were also conducted. The selected 20 communication-demographic factors were each statistically tested to determine their possible correlation with successful aging. Results revealed that of the 20 factors tested, 12 were significantly linked to successful aging. The study concluded that Filipino elders would most likely experience successful aging if they were healthy, single, from the middle or upper socioeconomic classes, with at least a college education, engaged in leisure activities on a regular basis, exercising regularly, with a number of close family members and friends and communicating with them often, and actively involved in religious activities. Their age, sex, occupation, place of residence, continuing education, mode of communication with close family and friends, type of religion, and commitment to continuing education were not significantly linked to successful aging.

“…Furthermore, if the domains are identified using empirical methods, such as exploratory factory analysis, sub-scores can be developed that can capture changes in health status. Almost surprisingly, the development and use of such empirical methods have been limited to only a few studies [27,28].…”

Advocating continued health into old age, so called successful aging, is a growing public health goal. However, the development of tools to measure aging is limited by the lack of appropriate outcome measures, and operational definitions of successful aging. Using exploratory factor analysis, we attempted to identify distinguishable health domains with representative variables of physical function, cognitive status, social interactions, psychological status, blood biomarkers, disease history, and socioeconomic status from the InCHIANTI study. We then used logistic and mixed effect regression models to determine whether the resulting domains predicted outcomes of successful aging over a nine-year follow-up. A four-domain health model was identified: neuro-sensory function, muscle function, cardio-metabolic function and adiposity. After adjustment for age and gender, all domains contributed to the prediction of walking speed (R 2 =0.73). Only the muscle function domain predicted dependency (R 2 =0.50). None of the domains were a strong, significant predictor of self-rated health (R 2 =0.18) and emotional vitality (R 2 =0.23). Cross-sectional findings were essentially replicated in the longitudinal analysis extended to nine-year follow-up. Our results suggest a multi-domain health model can predict objective but not subjective measures of successful aging.
