Abstract

Basically, changes in age affect physical, psychological and social aspects. The elderly's ability to carry out activities has begun to decrease compared to their youth, especially from a physical perspective. Psychological problems that usually arise in old age are feeling useless, feeling lonely, and starting to decline, especially the loss of independence. The emerging problems faced by the elderly require real action to improve their quality of life. What factors influence an elderly person to remain healthy, productive even until they are under or over 100 years old. The aim of this research is how the lives of the elderly remain prosperous both physically and mentally. This research is a type of library research, namely an effort to obtain data based on a library. One of the characteristics of library research is that researchers deal directly with texts or data and not with direct knowledge from the field.

Participating in activities such as walking, gardening, doing housework, and going up and down stairs can achieve the desired goals.
