项目摘要

As individuals age, they undergo transitions in many aspects of their lives. These transitions include social, economic and health transitions. People review their lives, and reflect on past choices. Future time is limited by the increasing proximity to end of life. This may lead to regrets and, in people with the ability to use compensatory mechanisms, a redoubling of efforts to achieve valued goals or a reprioritization of valued goals. In the context of aging, individuals' past, present, and future-oriented subjective well-being (SWB) may change. There is an incomplete understanding of the relationship of SWB, intra- and inter- personal resources, and outcomes, (particularly health and healthcare-cost outcomes). These issues have complicated the use of SWB measures and we are left with traditional metrics such as life expectancy, infant mortality, wealth, and poverty to assess healthy aging, resulting in an incomplete picture of healthy aging. The project will examine the relationships among SWB, intra- and inter-personal resources, and health and healthcare-cost outcomes. It will advance the understanding of SWB and its role in healthy aging in order to assist policy makers in valuing the potential benefits of improving SWB on health and healthcare costs. We will accomplish this through the following specific aim: Aim 1: To determine how SWB (past, present, and future-oriented): (1) is affected by life transitions, and (2) affects outcomes after life transitions.

随着个人的年龄，他们在生活的许多方面都经历了过渡。这些过渡包括社会，经济和健康转变。人们审查自己的生活，并反思过去的选择。未来的时间受到越来越多的生命终结的限制。这可能会导致遗憾，并且在具有使用补偿机制的能力的人们中，努力的加倍努力或重新确定有价值的目标。在衰老的背景下，个人的过去，现在和未来的主观幸福感（SWB）可能会发生变化。人们对SWB，内部和个人资源以及结果（尤其是健康和医疗保健成果）的关系有一个不完整的了解。这些问题使SWB措施的使用变得复杂，我们留下了传统指标，例如预期寿命，婴儿死亡率，财富和贫困来评估健康的衰老，从而导致健康衰老的不完整情况。该项目将研究SWB，人际和人际关系资源以及健康和医疗成本成果之间的关系。它将提高对SWB及其在健康衰老中的作用的理解，以帮助决策者评估改善SWB对健康和医疗保健成本的潜在收益。我们将通过以下特定目的来实现这一目标：目标1：确定SWB（过去，现在和未来以面向未来）的方式：（1）受生命转变的影响，（2）影响生活过渡后的结果。
