The aim of this study was to investigate the associations of subjective well-being, independence in daily activities, and the measures of mobility and flexibility in the lower limbs of elderly outpatients, according to age groups and gender. 125 people over 60 of both genders were chosen and evaluated. The instruments used were: Functional Independence Measure (FIM) to evaluate their daily activities, Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) for their physical performance, and Subjective Well-Being (SWB) for satisfaction with life. The results revealed that women have poorer physical performance and less functional independence than men. The older subjects had lower scores in physical performance and were more dependent in daily life activities than the younger ones, however they were more satisfied with life. The results suggest that older individuals and women have greater functional limitation. Meanwhile the older seniors show greater satisfaction with life
