Amid recent incidents of conflicts between elderly individuals and other passengers over priority seats on public transportation, Dr. Jiang Guanyu discussed the possibility of elderly individuals ending up becoming unpleasant. He pointed out several risk factors including introverted behavior, lack of social interactions, absence of goals or sense of purpose in life, poor economic status, poor physical health affecting mental well-being, and having a small social circle especially for those living alone. Additionally, studies have shown a high prevalence of aggressive behavior among elderly individuals with dementia, indicating that choosing dominance and aggression as coping strategies may not be beneficial. Dr. Jiang emphasized the importance of maintaining positive social interactions, active engagement in society, and aging successfully for a fulfilling life in later years.
