The scale consisted of 29 items with seven factors, using the 5 Likert scale 1-5 scoring method, where the total score range is 29 to 128 points. A score \<64 indicates poor aging, 64 to 96 points indicates that the level of active aging is moderate, and a higher score of 96 indicates a higher level of active aging.

  One commonly used tool to measure the sense of well-being was developed by the World Health Organization( WHO-5 Well-Being Index), consisting of five items that assess positive mood, vitality, and general well-being. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 0 (not present) to 5 (constantly present). The scores \<15 consider poor well-being, 15 to 20 Mild well-being problems, and \> 20 scores will be regarded as high well-being.
