Kohout et al. (1993) demonstrated the effects of advanced, normal and impaired functions of elderly, male and female elderly people on successful aging by applying a multislice survey of people aged 65 years and older, with two short forms of the Center of Epidemiological Research Depression (CES-D) symptoms index. Reker (2009) applied the scale obtained by the literature research on elderly individuals to prevent disease and weakness, to have high cognitive and physical function, commitment to life, choice, optimization, compromise, primary and secondary control, and psychological wellbeing. In conclusion, a healthy lifestyle, adaptive coping and commitment to life were found to be effective on successful aging. Bowling and Iliffe (2006) in their study with 999 elderly individuals over 65 years of age to measure the quality of life with the 7-point Likert scale questions were asked. According to the results of the study, the multidimensional successful aging model was found to be a more powerful tool in determining the quality of life of individuals. In the literature, successful aging is explained with physical, cognitive, psychological, social and technological dimensions. A successful aging scale is recommended for future studies. Due to the increasing number of elderly population and medical innovations, the average age is gradually increasing in developed countries. To increase the elderly population in developing countries, studies on successful aging should be increased.
