Introduction: Considering the importance of recognizing individual changes in old age and the special importance of retirement satisfaction, this study was conducted to determine the relationship between cognitive ability of retirees from individual change and retirement satisfaction in great Torshiz.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study was conducted in 1399 on 330 randomly selected retirees in Kashmar city. Data were collected using demographic, retirement satisfaction and cognitive ability of individual changes questionnaires. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics with SPSS software version 16.
Results: The mean age of participants was 62, 05+4,13. Retirement satisfaction was 20.27±76.29. Retirement satisfaction was significantly associated with marital status, age, income, type of property, study, entertainment, sports, television watching (P <0.05). The mean cognitive ability of retirees was 5.60±36.14, that the degree of cognitive ability was related to factors such as the number of hours spent watching TV and the type of illness involved (P <0.05). Statistical test did not show a significant relationship between retirement satisfaction and cognitive ability (P = 0.16).
Conclusion: Because most of the retirees had poor cognitive ability, it seems necessary to improve the cognitive ability of retirees in the last years of their careers. There was no relationship between cognitive ability and retirement satisfaction, which may be due to the region under study. Therefore, it is recommended to re-study in another environment to evaluate this relationship.

Introduction: Due to the increasing number of aging population in developing countries such as Iran and the role of social capital and successful aging in the aging population, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between social capital and successful aging in the aging population, Iran.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was performed on 402 aging people randomly selected from 6 health centers in the city, 2 aging homes and 3 open centers (medical sciences, education, social security) in 2019-2020 as a research population by stratified sampling. To collect information from the aging demographic information questionnaires, Onyx and Bowen Social Capital Questionnaire, Successful Aging Questionnaire, and aging Cognitive Status Questionnaire (AMT) were used for data collection. Data were analyzed using SPSS-22 software and Pearson correlation, focal tests, and multivariate regression.
Results: The mean of age of the subjects were 68.8 years. The social capital score was correlated with the successful aging, which was positively and moderately correlated (r = 0.662). Nearly 30% of the changes in the scores of the dependent variable of successful aging were influenced by the variables of social capital and marital status, living with relatives, employment, and educational level (r2 = 0.29).
Conclusion: The results of this study confirming the predictive power and impact of social capital on the index of successful elderly in the community are puzzling and relationship was found to be more significant. Social capital as an independent variable significantly affects successful aging as a dependent variable.in other words, social capital has the ability to predict successful aging.in some aspects including physical health, mental health, physical function and cognitive status. This findings could be a good guide for further research focus and for the authorities and practitioners, to achieve successful aging goals.
