Subjective
ageing can impact an individual’s behaviour and can influence how we behave,
which can have both positive and negative effects on our well-being. For
example, if I feel younger than my actual age, I may be more likely to engage
in health-promoting behaviours, such as Exercise or Healthy Eating. On the
other hand, if I feel older than my age, I may be more likely to
engage in unhealthy behaviours, such as smoking or drinking excessively.

 Subjective
Aging has been linked to a range of health outcomes, including cardiovascular
health, cognitive function, and mortality. For example, people who feel younger
than their actual age have been shown to have better cardiovascular health and
lower mortality rates than those who feel older than their actual age.

Subjective
aging can also shape how others perceive and treat individuals, which can
impact their well-being. For example, if an individual feels younger than their
actual age, they may be treated more positively by others and experience less
ageism and discrimination.
