Healthy seniors are happier than youngsters, new study finds

REALLY?
PROBABLY BECAUSE THE SENIORS HAVE ALREADY ACHIEVED EQUANIMITY DUE TO AGE AND EXPERIENCE WHILE THE YOUNGSTERS ARE STILL INSECURE AND EDGY AND THE MIDDLE AGED ARE STILL PROVING THEIR WORTH TO THE WORLD!!!
REGARDLESS!!!
''ONE'S PRIME IS ELUSIVE''
you bet!!!

I guess it still depends on the quality of lives of our seniors. If they belong to a well-to-do families or at least in the middle, then perhaps they are enjoying their time. But on the other side of the world, those living in the poverty line have a hard time coping up with the everyday pressures of life.

Bllleehh,..:P

I CONDEMN SOME DISCRIMINATIONS TO THE SENIOR CITIZENS! REMEMBER THAT WHEN YOU GET OLD, YOU WILL FEEL THIS KIND OF TREATMENT YOU'VE APPLY TO THEM AT ALL COST PRESISELY!

I will be a happy senior when i can withdraw my cpf at 55y-old.

Healthy seniors are definitely happy in other countries. However, healthy seniors in Singapore aren't really happy coz they're either jobless, peniless, or still work like a dog and have no time to enjoy lives. Worse for seniors who have everybody @ home working
or studying and be left dying lonely.

It really depend on the person. There are those who are born rich and end up being poor when they are old and there are those born poor and became rich when old. There are also rich old people who are not as happy as the poor old people who are quite contented with the little they have, while as rich old people are still not happy what they have. This is universal. Maybe the old people in Saudi Arabia, Brunei, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates being welfare states are better off.

Let me assure your survey that if the existing gvt really cares for their own citizens, to allow everyone to get a proper and decent jobs, stop importing Fake Trashes from alien land, but have reasonable number of foreign workers and allows everyone to earn a reasonable pay and owns a simple house with uncongested transport with reasonable fares, the younger ones will be as healthy and happier as the older generations.

thats true,....older adults should stay active ...intelligently alive.... and .keep on engaging works that is not also detrimental to their health.

Wow! A very informative article. Now i can look forward to my 'kulubot' years. :D

Yes! I can confirm with this research...that the golden years are somewhat more meaningful for the people who attained their dreams and done their responsibilities. This golden years are the reward years to good people who follow the will of God.....but definitely a failure to those who fail to perform their responsibilities toward God....golden years will reap the punishment due them....Thus the contentment in the golden years depends on the performance that an individual had done in his/her life.

Is good to always looked at the good side, “Healthy seniors are happier”
Is also good to checked on the bad side, Sick and bed ridden senior are they happy
It is hard to say, which side you will be fallen into at your old age as it all depend on your past KARMA.
You have a healthy and happier old age are all because of your past good KARMA (The Universal Law of Cause and Effect), that is “if you plant green bean during this life it will bear green bean for you on your next life, it cannot be something else.

Not all healthy seniors are happy, pity those who are still worrying about their children, financial matter, etc. Sigh! ...this is life.

having a positive disposition helps alot, even if one is going thro some rough patches.. always be positive . its a mind over matter situation, things will get better. ..if one keeps a clear uncluttered mind, we are able to find the right solutions ;, as opposed to despairing. .

healthy seniors with young girlfriends or boyfriends......... happier.

like my Grandpa used to say....Been there,Done it..!

BAO WOW WOW! ang mga matatanda ay may pinagkatandaan....minsan
