Longevity as a result of perseverance

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Longevity represents a relatively new and growing phenomenon. Population aging brings in addition to the overall aging of the population mainly progressive increase of group of the oldest-old. According to some authors, contemporary people have a real chance to live up to hundred years and lives ninety years long will be a rule, rather than an exception. The existing research on longevity is centered on the question of quality of life or quality of care. This paper is dedicated to longevity as a result of perseverance and a positive self-image. It uses the data file SHARE for European countries that provides a sufficiently large number of respondents for the study of oldest-old. Given the significant feminisation of oldest-old, as geriatric deterioration begins sooner and occurs more rapidly for women than for men, gender differences can be observed. We focus on issues of mental well being and coping with aging. The suitability of the CASP index for a population of oldest-old is also discussed.
