With ageing population projections, promoting positive ageing trajectories is critical. While health is often emphasised, eudaimonic psychological factors remain underexamined. A qualitative study presented throughout the main text highlighted the importance of psychological factors like purpose in life and resilience in fostering participation and subjective well-being, even amidst declining health. This model bridges the most recent updates from governmental organisations-the International Longevity Center, Brazil and the World Health Organization. Building on this model, the current research seeks to empirically assess the impact of health and eudaimonic psychological factors on the frequency and satisfaction of participation among older adults. This study involved 289 participants (56.74% women) aged 65+ in Madrid. Data on participation, self-perceived health, and eudaimonic factors were collected through an online survey. Hierarchical regression and cluster analyses explored the predictors and profiles of participation. Resilience, positive relationships, and autonomy explained 8.8% of variance in participation frequency. Satisfaction was influenced by health, meaning in life, and autonomy, accounting for 11% of variance. Profiles showed the highest participation and satisfaction in individuals with high eudaimonic scores, despite moderate health. Eudaimonic factors significantly influence participation and mitigate health limitations, reinforcing the qualitative study model mentioned. By uniting updates from governmental organisations proposals, this model underscores the role of psychological well-being in active ageing. Future research should explore hedonic well-being as a key outcome of active ageing.
随着人口老龄化预测的出现，促进积极的老龄化轨迹至关重要。虽然健康常常受到强调，但幸福主义心理因素仍未得到充分研究。贯穿正文的一项定性研究强调了诸如生活目的和复原力等心理因素在促进参与和主观幸福感方面的重要性，即使在健康状况下降的情况下也是如此。该模型融合了政府组织——巴西国际长寿中心和世界卫生组织的最新信息。基于此模型，当前研究旨在实证评估健康和幸福主义心理因素对老年人参与频率和满意度的影响。这项研究涉及马德里289名65岁及以上的参与者（56.74%为女性）。通过在线调查收集了关于参与、自我感知健康和幸福主义因素的数据。分层回归和聚类分析探讨了参与的预测因素和特征。复原力、积极关系和自主性解释了参与频率方差的8.8%。满意度受健康、生活意义和自主性的影响，占方差的11%。特征显示，尽管健康状况一般，但幸福主义得分高的个体参与度和满意度最高。幸福主义因素显著影响参与并减轻健康限制，强化了上述定性研究模型。通过整合政府组织提议的更新内容，该模型强调了心理健康在积极老龄化中的作用。未来的研究应探索享乐主义幸福作为积极老龄化的关键成果。
