SUBJEKTIVNA DOB, ŽIVOTNO ZADOVOLJSTVO I ZDRAVLJE
SUBJECTIVE AGE, LIFE SATISFACTION AND HEALTH

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study was to examine the relationships between different measures of subjective age, as well as relations of these measures to the subjective health, life satisfaction and happiness. The subjects were 118 health care professionals, who were administered a questionnaire that was developed for the purpose of the study. Weak or non-existent correlations, found between different measures of subjective age, showed that these measures may reflect different constructs. On average, our subjects felt about five years younger than their actual age, and wanted to be about ten years younger. Better subjective health was found in subjects with younger age identifications. Also, younger age identification was related to more happiness. The relationship between ideal age and life satisfaction showed that greater life satisfaction was related to older ideal age.
