      <Abstract>With the advancement of scientific knowledge and improvements in healthcare, there has been a notable increase in the population of older individuals. A variety of social, psychological, and behavioral factors can impact older people__ampersandsign#39;s level of life satisfaction. This study aimed to assess various parameters linked to life satisfaction among elderly individuals residing in Odisha, India. A descriptive-analytical study was done among a sample of more than 500 older individuals in Odisha, India, during the post-COVID-19 pandemic (2023__ampersandsignndash;2024). Convenience sampling was employed for participant selection. The results indicated a statistically significant impact of gender, occupation, marital status, and educational attainment on overall life satisfaction. The results of the study also suggested that the perception of anxiety has a noteworthy influence on an individual__ampersandsign#39;s overall enjoyment of life. The study__ampersandsign#39;s findings indicate that certain demographic parameters, such as gender, occupation, marital status, educational background, and cognitive components like anxiety, can serve as predictors of many life changes in older people. Consequently, recommendations are proposed to mitigate anxiety among the elderly population, thereby enhancing their overall quality of life.</Abstract>
