    Optimal Cut-Off Point for Self-Rated Successful Aging Based on the Rowe and Kahn's Model
    (SAGE Publications Inc, 2025) Soylu, Cem; Ozekes, Banu Cengelci
    There is no consensus on the optimal self-rated successful aging (SRSA) cut-off point for determining whether aging is successful. The present study aims to address this gap by identifying reliable SRSA cut-off points through a comparison based on Rowe and Kahn's (1997) successful aging model. A sample of 478 older adult residents of municipal centers and nursing homes aged >= 50 years (M = 72.11, SD = 10.43) were subjected to the single-item SRSA evaluation, as well as scale sets measuring Rowe and Kahn's (1997) criteria. A receiver-operating characteristic analysis was then used to determine a range of potential SRSA cut-off points to discriminate between successful and not successful agers. The application of Rowe and Kahn's (1997) successful aging criteria revealed an optimum cut-off point of >= 7, having the best balance of sensitivity (86.7 or 74.9%) and specificity (46.9 or 55.3%).

    Pathways from education and childhood parental death to successful aging: the role of social conditions and perceived income level
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Soylu, Cem; Ozekes, Banu Cengelci
    Objectives Although the association between adverse childhood conditions and health in later life has been relatively well established, little is known about how and through which mechanism this association develops. Building on the developmental adaptation model (Martin & Martin, 2002), the present study investigates the effects of distal and proximal influences on successful aging (SA). Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted of 475 adults aged 50 and above (Mean age = 72.13, SD = 10.46). SA was measured based on Rowe and Kahn's successful aging criteria model (1997) and an SA operationalization based on a number of multidimensional biopsychosocial indicators, including no disease and disability, active engagement with life, high physical and cognitive functioning, psychological well-being, life satisfaction and a one-item subjective SA question. Results Parental death had no direct effect on SA (beta = .03, p = .629), whereas education had (beta= .39, p < .001). Furthermore, perceived income level and social conditions were identified as two sequential mediators between both education and SA; and parental death and SA. Conclusions The findings suggest that both early life and current factors contribute to explaining SA in a variety of ways.

    Prevalence of Successful Aging among Turkish Adults, with Particular Focus on Age Groups and Living Space
    (Springer, 2025) Soylu, Cem; Ozekes, Banu Cengelci
    The older adult population in T & uuml;rkiye is increasing, paralleling global trends; however, there is a lack of information regarding the prevalence of successful aging in the Turkish context. This study aims to fill this data gap by assessing both the objective and subjective prevalence of successful aging in Turkish adults aged >= 50 years. The study included 478 older adults (M = 72.11, SD = 10.43), categorized by age range (50-64, 65-74, 75-84 and >= 85 years) and residence status (nursing home residents and community-dwelling adults). Participants were compared based on successful aging criteria defined by Rowe and Kahn's model (1997) and a self-rated successful aging item. Descriptive analyses were conducted to assess the prevalence of successful aging. The overall prevalence of successful aging was found to be 6.3% according to Rowe and Kahn's criteria, while 55.2% of participants self-rated themselves as aging successfully. A significant decreasing trend in the prevalence of successful aging components was observed with increasing age, and community-dwelling older adults exhibited a higher prevalence of successful aging components compared to nursing home residents. The findings indicated that nursing home residency and increased age are inversely related to both objective and subjective successful aging. Furthermore, older adults in T & uuml;rkiye tend to maintain fewer components of successful aging than their counterparts in other countries.

    Testing a model of biopsychosocial successful aging based on socioemotional selectivity theory in the second half of life
    (Cambridge Univ Press, 2023) Soylu, Cem; Ozekes, Banu Cengelci
    Objectives:We first tested a successful aging model, which included biomedical and psychosocial indicators. Next, we tested the assumptions on the social network characteristics of the socioemotional selectivity theory in a model where the outcome variable is successful aging. Design:Cross-sectional study. Setting:The study was carried out in municipal centers and nursing homes. Participants:A total of 478 adults (Mean age = 72.11, SD = 10.43) were enrolled. Measurements:Psychological Well-being Scale, Life Satisfaction Scale, Future Time Perspective, Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living Scale, Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale, and Mini-Mental State Examination Test were completed. Results:The structural equation modeling analyses indicated that higher social satisfaction mediated the association of the future time perspective with successful aging. Furthermore, there was another significant indirect sequential path from the future time perspective to successful aging. The path was first via the number of close social partners and second, social satisfaction. Conclusions:The findings highlight the importance of social satisfaction in the process of successful aging and provide novel evidence that the socioemotional selectivity theory can be considered as a biopsychosocial model of successful aging in future studies.
