Research on Health-Related Quality of Life and Well-Being among Older People

Dear Colleagues,

The World Health Organization, in the World Report on Aging and Health (2015), defines healthy aging as the “process of developing and maintaining the functional ability that enables well-being in older age.” In this sense, "well-being is considered in the broadest sense and includes domains such as happiness, satisfaction and fulfilment." Likewise, quality of life is a concept linked to well-being. Therefore, the purpose of this Special Issue is to publish original articles and reviews of clinical, epidemiological and public health research, on topics related to health linked to well-being and quality of life in aging, considering sociocultural factors, such as gender, schooling, economic income, marital status, occupation, loneliness, ageism, socialization, social support networks, access to health services, public politics, use of information and communication technologies (ICTs), healthy lifestyles (physical exercise, nutrition, sleep) and reasons for living, and self-perception of health.
