Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The global society is currently facing a rise in the elderly population. The concept of successful aging (SA) appeared in the gerontological literature to overcome the challenges and problems of population aging. SA is a subjective and multidimensional concept with many ambiguities regarding its meaning or measuring. This study aimed to propose an intelligent predictive model to predict SA.
