The life satisfaction of older adults in rural China has aroused widespread attention from policymakers and in academia. In this study we examined whether sense of self-worth and consumption mediate the association between stress and life satisfaction among rural older adults in China. We analyzed data from 586 surveys completed by people aged 60 years and over living in Zhejiang Province. The results showed that stress had a significant negative effect on life satisfaction, and sense of self-worth and consumption partially mediated this relationship. Our findings have implications for improving the life satisfaction of older adults who live in rural areas in China.
