adults receive from society it looks at four key areas to offer a clearer picture of how well seniors are supported in each country one Health this index measures life expectancy at age 60 and the mental well-being of older adults health is the most important Factor influencing quality of life and each Country Must ensure that seniors can live healthily and maintain mental Clarity two income this factor determines whether pension income is enough to cover living expenses and maintain a good quality of life for seniors a strong pension system is crucial for protecting older adults from poverty
