Abstract
The purpose of this research was to study the social life and its contribution to personal well-being of elderly people. The research design was a prospective, non-experimental, cross-disciplinary. This research was focused on information of 1056 volunteers (men and women) ranging in age from 65-100 years. The central hypothesis of the research assumed that an active social life is beneficial to personal well-being to a greater extent rather than gender, age, education, socioeconomic status, health, living in company and autonomy. According to the analysis of information, age, education, gender, socioeconomic status and living in company are not considered contributing factors which define and / or maintain well-being of elderly people. The results of statistical analysis indicate a significant predictive relationship of social life, autonomy and health with personal well-being of older adults. In conclusion, it stands the relevance of social life as a possibility to achieve well-being in the elderly.
