Keywords:

This thesis examines the social influence of family values on longevity in Uzbek society. The study analyzes the role of intergenerational relations, respect for older people, family support, care traditions, and the mahalla environment in improving the quality of life of elderly people. Longevity is considered not only as a biological phenomenon but also as a social result connected with lifestyle, emotional stability, social inclusion, and everyday support. The findings show that strong family relations may contribute to psychological well-being, social activity, and health protection among older people. At the same time, demographic change, migration, urbanization, and transformation of family structures create new challenges for maintaining traditional mechanisms of care.
