Day-to-day life of adults after age 85: the interplay of mood, engagement, cognition and health in the context of prior functioning

这项研究将为澳大利亚社会带来可观的社会效益，为85岁以上的人如何继续积极地为社会做出贡献，并保持与社会的联系提供难得的见解。它将通过研究日常认知和情绪如何根据不同的情景背景和日常活动而变化，提高对生产性老龄化的认识和理解。它将提供有关这一老年人群体所面临的挑战和机遇的信息，并揭示这一老年人群体的社会网络、孤立、独立和健康之间的相互关系。

The research will offer considerable social benefits to the Australian community by providing a rare insight into how people over the age of 85 can continue to contribute actively to, and remain engaged with, society. It will improve knowledge and understanding of productive ageing by examining how everyday cognition and mood vary depending on different situational contexts and daily activities. It will offer information on the challenges and opportunities experienced by this group of older adults, and reveal the inter-relatedness of social networks, isolation, independence and health for this group of very old adults.
