Subjective well-being as an emotional-cognitive assessment of person's life is an important aspect of psychological health and positive functioning in general. The hypothesis of connection between subjective well-being, psychological well-being and psychological health is presented. This correlation is very important in late adulthood for ensuring happy obsolescence but has some specific peculiarities due to the elderly people's age and individual traits. Subjective well-being is a background for effective inner work (A. Liders) of summarizing person's previous life that is the main purpose in old age.
