The Influence of Community Environment on Life Satisfaction among Senior Citizens - Focusing on the Sequential Mediating Effects of Social Relationships and Health Status

Key Points

Community environment significantly boosts life satisfaction among senior citizens, linking physical space to emotional well-being.
Health status and social relationships act as essential mediators, influencing how the community environment impacts life satisfaction.
This observational study underscores the importance of integrating social engagement and health promotion in policies aimed at seniors.
Results suggest that improving community aspects alone may not suffice; efforts must also include fostering social ties and maintaining health.

Abstract

This study aimed to empirically examine how social relationships and health status sequentially mediate the link between community environment and life satisfaction among senior citizens. The results indicate that the community environment significantly contributes to improving life satisfaction in older adults, with social relationships and health status serving as critical sequential mediators. These findings demonstrate the need for an integrated policy approach that goes beyond improving the physical environment to also foster social engagement and promote health maintenance, thereby enhancing overall life satisfaction among the elderly.
