The data were collected from 201 elderly residents in long-term care facilities located in D city. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences between male and female elderly in successful aging. Specifically, elderly men showed significantly higher level of successful aging than women. In addition, the variables affecting successful aging were significantly different based on gender.
