Abstract

This essay offers a summary of personal wellbeing and describes its relationship with sociodemographic parameters and other relevant quality of life (QoL) domains, as well as its association with Active Ageing (AA). Based on a positive and holistic viewpoint, AA is constructed around four pillars (health , lifelong learning , participation , and security) and interacting determinants that indicate whether a person is experiencing an AA with good QoL (WHO 2002; ILC-BR 2015). In this paradigm, QoL is structured as an outcome measure of AA. Based on the seminal conceptualization of AA, the Active Ageing Index (AAI) has been designed yo identify the leven of AA in Europe (Zaidi et al. 2013). As an indicator of QoL, the Personal Wellbeing Index (PWI) has been developed to evaluate subjective wellbeing in its global and domain-specific contexc (IWG 2013). Other qualitative sources are used in this essay to analyze the lay perspective of relationship between the two constructs, AA and QoL.
