Older adults have positive self-perceptions, maintaining an active lifestyle and valuing relationships, leading to better well-being. Research supports their ability to adapt to physical changes and acceptance of aging positively.
Older adults typically do not suffer from body image problems as they tend to be more accepting of themselves due to various factors such as focusing on emotional well-being, positive social relationships, and overall life satisfaction. They often compare themselves to those worse off and adapt well to changes in health.
Research by Angner, Ray, Saag, Allison (2009) and Kennedy, Mather, Carstensen (2004) indicates that older adults maintain an active lifestyle, value social connections, and have positive perceptions about aging and relationships.
Levy's study (2009) highlights that older individuals who positively adapt to changes in appearance and physical capacity report higher well-being, better health, and longer life spans.
