Yoga & ageing : a study on attitudes to ageing, body image and quality of life among seniors over 65.

Résumé

Quality of life (QoL) is a predictor of life expectancy and institutionalization among the elderly (Petit & al., 2014). Social relationships play an important role (Gabriel & Bowling, 2014), but they also convey prejudices and stereotypes (Adam & al., 2013) that influence the perceptions attributed to one's own experience of ageing and attitudes towards ageing in its 3 dimensions (physical change; psychological growth; psychosocial losses) (Laidlow & al., 2007). These ones contribute to the development of identity in relation to body image in its two dimensions of global self-perception and body satisfaction (Mucchielli, 2011), for which seniors attach more importance to the functional dimension compared to appearance (Reboussin & al., 2000). This raises the question of the effects of a mind-body practice such as yoga on the quality of life of senior citizens through attitudes to ageing and body image.
