Background and Objectives: Today, one of the goals to improve the quality of life (QoL) of the elderly is to achieve successful aging. This study aims to investigate the determinants of successful aging in Tehran, Iran.
Methods: This is a quantitative cross-sectional study. Participants were 637 older people over 60 years of age who were collected using a multi-stage cluster sampling method from 22 districts of Tehran, according to the number of older people in each district. Chi-square test and multiple logistic regression were used for analyze the collected data.
Results: Prevalence of successful aging in Tehran was 19.6%. The results of multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that younger people and non-smokers had a higher chance of successful aging (Odds ratio=1.8 and 1.9, respectively). Those with elementary/secondary education and further and higher education (respectively with 2.9 rand 3.4 odds ratio) and daily exercise (odds ratio=2.4) had also a higher chance of successful aging.
Conclusion: Improving the level of education and improving a healthy lifestyle, including not smoking and doing physical activities, leads to a successful aging, which requires long-term planning and special attention.
