Abstract

The study analyzed the impacts of social relationships on the well-being of older adults in Ecuador, with the objective of evaluating how these interactions affected their quality of life. A methodology was used based on a review of scientific literature published between 2020 and 2024, performing searches in Google Scholar and selecting 20 articles that met specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. The review was carried out in two phases: first, relevant studies were filtered from titles and abstracts, and then extensive reading was carried out to assess the methodological quality and relevance of the findings. The results indicated that quality social relationships were key determinants of older adults' satisfaction, reducing isolation and emotional deterioration. In addition, the importance of public policies that encouraged social interaction and participation in community and leisure activities was highlighted, which not only improved physical health, but also promoted emotional well-being. In conclusion, the study highlighted the need to strengthen these relationships to ensure healthy and active aging.
