Sažetak
The aim of this study was to examine whether there were gender differences in the length of life and explore the contribution of the education level, social support and participation, self-assessment of health and functional ability in explaining the length of life of deceased elderly persons. In 2008, data were collected by structured interviews as part of longitudinal study in the 11 retirement homes in Zagreb, and in 2015 data were collected on the life status and cause of death. This research involved 277 participants (95 men and 182 women) who were ambulatory, not demented and particepated voluntary. No significant difference was found in the length of life of women and men. The observed predictor variables explained 21% of variance in length of life of women, and in men the same predictors did not explain the significant amount of variance. Significant predictors of the womens' lenght of life were the number of living siblings and good friends, and self- rated health. Women who lived longer if they have less living siblings and good friends and if they assess their health better. The research results point to the importance of further investigation on the relationship of psychosocial determinants and the length of life and focus on prolonging life while maintaining its quality.
