A recent study of over 6,600 adults aged 62 and older revealed that nearly half reported a lack of fulfillment, characterized by a deficiency in purpose, wholeness, and connection. This research, conducted by CenterWell, suggests that factors like self-contentment, optimism, and a sense of purpose are more critical to well-being in older age than physical health. The findings also highlight the significant roles of religious belief and cohabitation in fostering fulfillment, challenging traditional medical assumptions that prioritize physical health metrics.
