Résumé

This study aimed to identifying the influence of levels of social participation on self-rated health and life satisfaction in older adults. Data came from Fibra Study, a cross-sectional, multicenter study designed to investigate frailty in a randomly selected sample of people aged 65 years or older, recruited in seven Brazilian cities. Results showed that different social activities and levels of social participation played diverse influences on self-rated health and life satisfaction in old age and those influences differ according to gender.

Keywords: Social activities; Community involvement; Aging.
