We sought to investigate the relationship of high life satisfaction with important physical health, mental health, social integration and perceived safety factors among midlife and older Mexican adults. We examined 2,200 midlife and older adults (aged 50-101 years) from the Mexican arm of the Study on global AGEing and adult health (SAGE) and used binary logistic regression models to identify key factors associated with high LSA. Our final logistic regression model revealed self-rated health, affect, interpersonal activities and perceived safety on street to be significantly associated with high life satisfaction. Results from this study add to the nascent literature on subjective well-being of midlife and older Mexicans. Although social work with older adults is not well established in Mexico, researchers and practitioners should collaborate on the development and implementation of social worker-led strategies for prevention and intervention to enhance well-being among midlife and older Mexicans.
我们试图调查墨西哥中年及老年成年人的高生活满意度与重要的身体健康、心理健康、社会融合及感知安全因素之间的关系。我们对来自全球老龄化与成人健康研究（SAGE）墨西哥部分的2200名中年及老年成年人（年龄在50至101岁之间）进行了研究，并使用二元逻辑回归模型来确定与高生活满意度相关的关键因素。我们最终的逻辑回归模型显示，自评健康状况、情感、人际活动以及对街道的感知安全与高生活满意度显著相关。这项研究的结果为有关墨西哥中年及老年人群主观幸福感的新文献增添了内容。尽管墨西哥针对老年人的社会工作尚未完善，但研究人员和从业者应合作制定并实施由社会工作者主导的预防和干预策略，以提高墨西哥中年及老年人群的幸福感。
