Abstract

The article provides a selective overview of methods for measuring and evaluating quality of life and active ageing, together with methodological comments. It introduces the concept of quality of life and, with distinguishing its outer and inner components, describes selected research concepts and their measurement.

Then the article comes to the concept of active ageing and widely discussed Active ageing index (AAI). The described and commented surveys and research tools are presented as an overview.

It discusses a possibility to build and employ an individual active ageing index which could evaluate quality of life of individual persons and their active ageing outcomes.
