| Opplysninger | This paper focuses on the subjective experience of extreme old age for people scoring high and low respectively on well-being measures. The purpose was to illustrate and expand upon the quantitatively derived findings from a previous study of nonagenarians living in Stockholm using a qualitative approach inspired by Grounded Theory. The results suggest that 'outlook on life', 'social and emotional ties', 'engagement with the outside world' and 'physical capability' are important contributors to subjectively experienced well-being in this age group.
