It is important not just to extend life but also to ensure its quality. This study aimed to assess life satisfaction among elderly residents of Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive-analytic study included 360 individuals aged 65 and older residing in households served by health centers who were selected using two-stage cluster sampling. The data were collected through face-to-face interviews with a structured questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS, version 18 . Results: Among participants, 19.4% reported high life satisfaction in all nine dimensions. Health satisfaction (P=0.04) and usefulness (P=0.002) were significantly affected by residence. However, health (P=0.04), family life (P<0.0001), friendships (P=0.005), leisure activities (P=0.02), and job satisfaction (P=0.01) were influenced by marital status. Conclusion: Improving elderly life satisfaction requires support from family, friends, and the community, alongside careful planning by policymakers.
