The purpose of this study was to explore the motivation of highly physically active older adults based on the socio-ecological model, both before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants were aged 65 or older, engaged in at least 150 minutes of self-identified moderate to vigorous physical activity (PA) per week, and did not report any significant chronic conditions or cognitive impairment that would limit a participant's engagement in PA. Data were collected from January to March 2020 using in-person, one-on-one interviews (N = 19). The follow-up data were collected by e-mail in January 2021. Participants were asked via e-mail questions regarding changes in PA since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Individual traits are the primary motivational factors for PA. Highly physically active older adults had access to and utilized resources for PA and had social circles with other physically active older adults. While the COVID-19 pandemic had affected PA, overall participants tried to maintain their PA. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)

ABSTRACT This editorial synthesizes the findings of eight studies in the latest issue of Activities, Adaptation & Aging: Dignified and Purposeful Living for Older Adults. The findings encapsulate the factors that contribute to aging well and improving the quality of life for older adults, including active leisure participation, adopting leisure activities, animal interactions, community center involvement, individualized information, mental and physical well-being strategies, social resources and support, and volunteering. These factors not only inform practitioners working with older adults but also provide insights for individuals seeking to age well. The resilience of older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic is also discussed, emphasizing the importance of speaking positively about aging.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to examine the potential effects of volunteering on older people’s mental wellness, satisfaction, and motivation. To this end, 193 volunteers aged 51 years and above completed the self-administered survey questionnaires. The results show that older volunteers had higher scores on mental wellness, satisfaction, and motivation than that of their younger counterparts. Multivariate analysis shows that the well-being of the older adults derived from volunteering is significantly associated with the perceived effect they can make in rendering services and the extent of their connection with their agency. Factors such as agency support, relationships with other people, and volunteer functioning were not found to be significant. This study reveals that older volunteers value highly the positive effect of their services on other people and on the environment they serve in, which gives them a sense of contributing something of value. Also, as social life and affiliations with others are usually very important to older adults after they retire, their connection with the agency was a significant factor associated with the well-being derived from volunteering, after controlling for other demographic and external factors. It is recommended that practitioners review the service programs open to older volunteers and support them in obtaining a sense of worth through providing services and having an effect on other people and the service setting. Agencies should also enhance their volunteering development programs by building cohesive connections with older volunteers, so that they have a stronger sense of belonging to the service setting. That connection will in turn contribute to the well-being they derive from volunteering.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to determine the quality of life of people aged 90 and over in Turkey, as well as the variables that influence it. The World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale Elderly Module (WHOQOL-OLD) was used to evaluate the quality of life of the participants in the study, which was carried out with the participation of 879 individuals aged 90 and over. The total mean score of the participants on the WHOQOL-OLD scale was 64.04 ± 11.14. According to the study, the economic situation, availability of social security, level of education, and security of the area in which they live all have an impact on the quality of life of those aged 90 and over.
