    Abstract
  •   Objective  To explore the relationship between life satisfaction and life expectancy of the elderly, and to provide theoretical support and empirical evidence for improving life satisfaction of the elderly and promoting social harmony.  Methods  A stratified sampling method was used to select 1856 elderly people in Sichuan Province as the research objects, who then completed face-to-face questionnaire surveys. Through descriptive analysis, the gap between pension expectation and reality was compared, and logistic regression evaluated the correlation between pension expectation and life satisfaction of the elderly.  Results  At present, the elderly in Sichuan province felt satisfied, generally satisfied, and dissatisfied with their lives accounted for 43.43%, 42.56% and 14.01%, respectively. The expected financial support (3.09±0.99) was lower than the actual financial support (3.45±0.89). The proportion of expected family pension (60.29%) was the largest and lower than that of actual family pension (67.62%, P < 0.05). The analysis of influencing factors showed elderly individuals living in urban areas (OR=1.383, 95% CI: 1.127-1.697), with a high school or technical secondary education (OR=3.136, 95% CI: 1.687-5.824), and experiencing a mismatch in preferred versus actual retirement location (OR=1.504, 95% CI: 1.184-1.910) tended to have higher life satisfaction. Conversely, larger gaps between economic expectations and reality (OR=0.702, 95% CI: 0.630-0.781), greater disparities between expected and actual healthcare experiences (OR=0.773, 95% CI: 0.700-0.852), and having suffered from illness in the past two weeks (OR=0.787, 95% CI: 0.630-0.983) were associated with lower life satisfaction among the elderly.  Conclusion  The narrowing of the expectation gap is closely related to improvements in the elderly's life satisfaction. On this basis, it is suggested that the government should formulate policies that are closer to the needs of the elderly, the community should provide diversified services for the elderly according to the actual needs of the elderly, and the children should earnestly fulfill their maintenance obligations and give the elderly adequate material and spiritual support.
