Sense of coherence is defined as a personality trait that expresses an individual’s global outlook on life (Antonovsky, A. 1987). Psychological Well-being refers to the simple notion of a person's welfare, happiness, advantages, interests, utility, and quality of life (Burris et al, 2009). Life satisfaction is the degree to which a person positively evaluates the overall quality of his or her life as a whole. In other words, how much the person likes the life he or she leads (Ruut Veenhoven, 1996). The immune system is a collection of billions of cells that travel through the bloodstream. They move in and out of tissues and organs, defending the body against foreign bodies (antigens), such as bacteria, viruses and cancerous cells (Saul McLeod, 2010). Aging refers to the inevitable, irreversible decline in organ function that occurs over time even in the absence of injury, illness, environmental risks, or poor lifestyle choices like unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, substance abuse (Richard W. Besdine, 2019). The current research adopts a correlational design to find relation between sense of coherence, psychological well-being, life satisfaction, and immune system in geriatrics and also to ascertain whether sense of coherence, psychological well-being, life satisfaction could impact immune system of geriatrics. A non-probability purposive sampling technique has been adopted for selection of samples where 102 samples were obtained out of which 44 are males and 58 are females. The findings of the study showed that sense of coherence shares a positive correlation with psychological well-being in geriatrics. It also showed that sense of coherence shares a positive correlation with life satisfaction in geriatrics. Also, it has been found that psychological well-being and life satisfaction shared a positive correlation in geriatrics. A positive correlation was also found between life satisfaction and immune system in geriatrics. From the results, it has been found that life satisfaction could impact immune system of geriatrics. The findings of the study suggest that young citizens, government should take measures for proper physical as well as psychological care of geriatrics as this would positively impact their mental state which in turn would strengthen their immune system and result in proper functioning of their bodies.
