Aging is a series of processes that begin with life and continue throughout the life cycle. It represents the closing period in the life span, a time when the individual looks back on life, lives on past accomplishments and begins to finish off his life course. It represents the accumulation of changes in person over time. The study aims to investigate the health status of senior citizens. The present study was carried out in Hisar and Sirsa district of Haryana state. A total of 400 elderly equally representing both males and females of age group 65-70 years were selected randomly for the study. Modified inventory developed by Khan and Lal (2011) was used to assess health status of senior citizens. The results of the study elucidated that health status of senior citizens depicted that 54.25 per cent of the total respondents had average health status followed by good (25.25%) and poor health status (20.50%). The most common health problems reported by the senior citizens were joint pains, back pains, blood pressure, and chest pain etc. Gender wise comparison of total sample further pointed out that females were poor in their health against males.Keywords

The period of adolescence is vital for a person's total growth, both mentally and physically. It is the state or process of growing up. The growth and development of the person are dependent on the family. Motivation, job performance, decision-making, effective management, and leadership all depend on emotional intelligence. This research examines the impact of emotional intelligence and family environment on the personality of rural adolescents. Good Mental health and wellness is significantly predicted by personality. The study was conducted in rural areas of Bhiwani district and Gurugram district of Haryana State. Each district sample constituted of randomly selected 120 adolescents including 60 males and 60 females. The results revealed that the majority of the adolescents had an average level of emotional intelligence, personality, and family environment. Emotional intelligence and personality are associated with some personal and socio-economic variables like parental education, parental occupation, ordinal position, and number of siblings, and annual family income. The comparison revealed that Talu village, adolescents' were found better in emotional intelligence and personality than Mahu village's, adolescents. Study also suggests that a positive and significant relationship exists between emotional intelligence and family environment among adolescents.
