This article, the first in a two-part series, considers a number of factors that influence quality of life in older age. It highlights the tensions between objective and subjective dimensions regarding the quality of life. It emphasizes the differences between those definitions used by professionals and those employed by older people themselves. The authors argue that there is a need to gain a broader understanding of how people adjust to and interpret their own ageing before the appropriate services can be designed. Assimilation, accommodation and immunization are presented as useful concepts to improve understanding in this important area.
本文是一个两部分系列文章中的第一篇，探讨了一些影响老年人生活质量的因素。它突出了生活质量在客观维度和主观维度之间的紧张关系。它强调了专业人员所使用的定义与老年人自身所采用的定义之间的差异。作者认为，在设计适当的服务之前，有必要更广泛地了解人们如何适应和解读自己的衰老过程。同化、顺应和免疫被提出作为有用的概念，以增进对这一重要领域的理解。
