Seniors about ageing and old age – an example from Poland (original) (raw)

Journal of Modern Science

Ageing of the population is an important phenomenon in the society, it is also the normal process of time-related change which begins with birth and continues until death. These changes include how a person feels and functions with respect to physical or mental competences. We can use numerous measures and classifications to analyse the advancement level of the ageing of society. The quality of ageing and the way of experiencing old age translate into seniors' activity and activation, and that very often depends on their health and the level of independence. Active lifestyle makes an individual feel needed, free and independent, he/she has the sense of belonging to smaller and bigger social groups, thus, the process of experiencing old age becomes delayed. The lack of activity has its consequences in the sense of loneliness and social isolation, or even premature death.
