Health Determinants of Life Satisfaction Among Older Adults in Brunei: A Multivariate Analysis
Level of satisfaction is significantly influenced by health-related factors across human life course. Prior research shows that there are variations in the relationship between health factors and life-satisfaction between Western and Asian countries. This study aimed to explore health determinants of life satisfaction among older adults in Brunei Darussalam. Cross-sectional study using an interviewer-assisted questionnaire. Six hundred forty-five adults aged above 50 years were recruited nationally. Descriptive statistics and multivariate regression analysis were applied. A robust model (R2 = 49.3%, alpha > 0.7) suggested that life satisfaction in this population could largely be explained by musculoskeletal pain, difficulty to perform daily activities, psychological and emotional issues, and family support. Gender has significant moderating effects on this relationship. Impacts of life satisfaction from health, social, cultural, and related perspectives were discussed. These findings in this research may contribute to ongoing multi-sectorial efforts to design a comprehensive model of care of older people to achieve high quality of life.
期刊介绍:
As a quarterly peer-reviewed journal that has existed for over three decades, Ageing International serves all professionals who deal with complex ageing issues. The journal is dedicated to improving the life of ageing populations worldwide through providing an intellectual forum for communicating common concerns, exchanging analyses and discoveries in scientific research, crystallizing significant issues, and offering recommendations in ageing-related service delivery and policy making. Besides encouraging the submission of high-quality research and review papers, Ageing International seeks to bring together researchers, policy analysts, and service program administrators who are committed to reducing the ''implementation gap'' between good science and effective service, between evidence-based protocol and culturally suitable programs, and between unique innovative solutions and generalizable policies. For significant issues that are common across countries, Ageing International will organize special forums for scholars and investigators from different disciplines to present their regional perspectives as well as to provide more comprehensive analysis. The editors strongly believe that such discourse has the potential to foster a wide range of coordinated efforts that will lead to improvements in the quality of life of older persons worldwide.
