Abstract

The aging of populations is accelerating globally, posing scientific and societal challenges. Beyond physical health factors, there is a need to map the psychosocial determinants of mortality in older adults. This study examines the impact of life satisfaction (LS), positive attitudes toward aging (PA), and negative emotionality (NE) on 10-year mortality risk.
