    Objetivos: Analizar la asociación entre la participación social y el envejecimiento exitoso en una muestra representativa de personas mayores chilenas.

    Método: Se dispone de una muestra de 777 personas mayores chilenas. Se utilizó el Inventario de envejecimiento exitoso (SAI) y todos los sujetos de la muestra firmaron una carta de consentimiento informado. Se realizaron análisis bivariados (prueba t de Student para muestras independientes y prueba de χ2) a través de los programas SPSS (versión 23).

    Resultados: Se confirma la asociación entre participación social y envejecimiento exitoso; asimismo, los resultados muestran diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre las personas mayores que participan y los que no participan en el proceso de envejecer con éxito. Quienes participan en grupos sociales envejecen con éxito.

    Conclusiones: La participación social es un recurso psicosocial relevante en la intervención social gerontológica, dada su asociación positiva con el bienestar general de las personas mayores

    Results: Confirmed association between social participation and successful aging, also the results show statistically significant differences between elderly people who participate and those who do not participate in the process of aging successfully.
