Successful aging refers to the ability to have a good perceivedqualityoflifeandwell-beingasonetransitions through the advanced stages of life. Several models of successful aging have been presented in the gerontology literature. We have adapted the Baltes and Baltes’ SOC model as the framework for successful aging with HIV for several reasons.
Abstract. Understanding the complex trajectories of disability and aging requires a biopsychosocial approach that considers disability in the broader context of later adulthood. Although disability service researchers and gerontologists have many shared interests and a similar mission, the fields are relatively new to one another and have had ...
Successful aging is defined not by longevity alone but also by sufficient well-being (in multiple domains) to sustain a capacity for functioning adequately in changing circumstances. The determinants of such well-being and functional status are manifold and include the genetic endowment, physical environment, social environment, population and ...
Aug 06, 2008 · In this article, we present and explain a bio-psycho-social model of successful aging with subjective well-being as a criterion of a successful aging process. We focus on physical activity because it is a crucial behavior. Physical activity can support successful aging in two different ways: first, due to its physiological and cognitive effects, and Second, an older …
Physical activity can support successful aging in two different ways: first, due to its physiological and cognitive effects, and Second, an older person can enhance subjective well-being (SWB) while being physically active.
Their definition of successful aging includes three key behaviors or characteristics which should be perpetuated as long as possible: (1) low risk of disease and disease-related disabilities, (2) high mental and physical functioning, and (3) active engagement with life.
Following the explanation above, the regulation of SWB is critical for successful aging. To enhance habitual SWB, an older person needs the opportunity to experience often positive affects and life satisfaction in daily life.
The bio-psycho-social model explains that the chance to enhance SWB is restricted by personal dispositions (e.g., physiological constitution, psychological factors) and social–structural constraints ( e.g., predominant stereotype of aging, facilities especially for target groups).
Being in good shape is a relevant physiological factor influencing the setting and pursuing personally and culturally valued goals. PA can effect the constitution in a positive way. This has been demonstrated in a lot of studies. For example, moderate PA induces physiological and psychological effects (for physiological effects, see [ 38, 57 ]; for psychological, especially cognitive, effects, see [ 36, 60 ]).
In doing this, we focus on PA. PA proves to be a crucial behavior because of its two different roles in the successful aging process. First, it causes physiological and cognitive effects: An older person in good shape has the opportunity to set and pursue a greater variety of personal goals. Second, an older person can satisfy psychological needs directly while being physically active.
In developmental psychology, subjective well-being (SWB) defines one out of several significant criteria of successful aging. Therefore, successful aging is not only the effort to reduce age-related diseases; it is the effort to enhance SWB, to feel good, and to be satisfied with life despite physiological declines.
Social and cultural factors act not only as independent tooth but also interact with the physical and biological to form the total picture that the epidemiological phenomenon develops ill mental diseases. He lacked the interconnection with different biological aspects (Burkhardt, 2014 and PBS, 2010). Psychological.
Mental health refers to the styles positive life and the values that legitimate and sustain the levels of humanity, trust, confidence and sense of control over their own destiny, and gives life option, meaning, respect and legitimacy. Moore’s social loneliness made him rude and ruthless. Cultural Factors.
Also called stop thinking is a process developed for the elimination of persistent thought patterns with negative consequences, such as those that may cause anxiety. It consists in stopping such thoughts through verbal expression or image as soon as possible as they arise.
The psychological component of the biopsychosocial model looks for potential psychological causes for a health problem such as lack of self-control, emotional turmoil, and negative thinking. The social part of the biopsychosocial model investigates how different social factors such as socioeconomic status, culture, poverty, technology, ...
