Abstract

[Chapter 5 comprises a review of correlates and a determination of each of their contributions to explaining the variance in adjustment to aging variance, i.e., the relationship between adjustment to aging and its correlates. In fact, socio-demographic, health-related, social support, spirituality and lifestyle behaviors, as well as psychosocial factors may affect patterns of change in adjustment to aging. Moreover, the implications for practice and intervention for each correlate will be comprehensively debated in this chapter. Chapter 5 has the purpose to fill a gap in previous literature in relation to the correlates of adjustment to aging, as little research has been dedicated to the identification and the estimation of the relative influence of correlates of adjustment to aging. Indeed, as literature progressively demonstrates the potential of specific correlates in sustaining the adjustment to aging of older adults, this evidence may be used by health professionals and policy makers for promoting aging well and developing their strategies accordingly.]
