Interpreting the life quality changes in ukrainian elderly population

Abstract

Low values of the quality of life of different age groups confirm the negative tendencies that are the result of the initially low values of well-being at the young age. Low indicators characterizing the general psychological component of the well-being of the elderly can testify to certain negative social and cultural trends in Ukrainian society - age discrimination, which results in the negative perception of natural age changes, limitation of activity of the elderly people, their dependence on younger members of the family.
