Abstract

The article focuses on the life resources and personal goals of in old age. It examines whether personal characteristics, socio-economic, social and health resources are associated with personal goal content in old age using logistic regression modelling. It shows that people with better health resources were more likely to report goals related to leisure-time, social and physical activities and less likely to report goals related to recovery of health.
