    El benestar en persones majors és un constructe que ha protagonitzat moltes investigacions al llarg de les últimes dècades. Com ja és sabut, el benestar es troba a la base d’una sèrie d’indicadors. L’objectiu d’aquest estudi és valorar la possible mediació exercida per indicadors del nivell d’activitat i independència funcional de les persones majors, en la relació d’un nombre d’indicadors sociodemogràfics i la satisfacció vital i la salut percebuda.

    Es fa ús d’una mostra de 1.003 persones majors de Luanda (Angola), pertanyents a residències, diverses ONG i centres d’atenció. S’ha estimat un model d’equacions estructurals que disposava d’una sèrie de variables sociodemogràfiques que predeien la satisfacció vital i la salut dels majors, amb dos indicadors d’activitat i dependència com a variables intervinents o mediadores. Els resultats concorden amb la bibliografia i es troba una forta implicació dels indicadors sociodemogràfics i de les variables relacionades amb l’activitat/dependència, en la satisfacció vital i la percepció de salut de les persones majors.

    Elderly’s well-being is a construct that has been the center of many studies along the last decades. As it is known, well-being is on the basis of a set of indicators. The aim of this study is to evaluate the possible mediation that activity levels and functional independence can exert on a number of socio-demographic indicators and satisfaction with life and perceived health.

    To achieve it, a sample of 10003 Angolan elderly, coming from nursing homes, NGOs, and care centers, is used. A structural equations model was estimated, in which a set of socio-demographic variables were predictors of satisfaction with life and perceived health, with two indicators of activity and dependence as intervening or mediating variables. Results obtained are concordant with literature, with a strong implication of socio-demographic indicators and variables related with activity/dependence in satisfaction with life and perceived health.
