    PLANNING FOR SUCCESSFUL

    AGING
    Matelyn S. Oarga
    BSN- III
    SUCCESSFUL AGING
     The absence of disease and disability makes it easier to
    maintain mental and physical function. And maintenance of
    mental and physical function, in turn, enables (but does not
    guarantee) active engagement with life.
    SUCCESSFUL AGING
     Vaillant (2002) proposes three criteria related to health:
    1. No physical disability at age 75
    2. Good subjective health
    3. Length of undisabled life

    and three related to social and productive activity:


    – Good mental health
    – Objective social support
    – Self-rated life satisfaction in eight domains
    SUCCESSFUL AGING
     Vaillant’s eight domains of life satisfaction:
    1. Marriage
    2. Income-producing work
    3. Children
    4. Friendship and social contacts
    5. Hobbies
    6. Community service activities
    7. Religion
    8. Recreation/sports
    SUCCESSFUL AGING THEORIES
     The Selection, Optimization, and Compensation (SOC)
    model

     Selection
    - The choosing and developing goals
     Optimization

    - The refinement of goal-related actions


     Compensation

    - The substitution of means when previous ones are no longer


    available

     Successful aging requires that people:
    – Have the resources to live a healthy life
