Indonesia is facing an aging society since the proportion of the elderly was almost 10% of the total population. This situation is reflected by the increasing total number of elderlies, dependency ratio, and life expectancy.

This study used pooled data from Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) wave 4 and wave 5. It was conducted in 2007 and 2014. The sample size of this study consisted of middle age (40 to 59 years old) and elderly (60 years old and up). Results: The findings of this study revealed that from 2007 to 2014, the total score of mental health problems was increasing, and also the total score of activity daily life (ADL).
