The purpose of this exploratory-descriptive study was to compare the different living arrangements of older Thai adults on healthy aging and well-being in those attending the elderly school. The specific aims of this study were (1) to describe demographic characteristics, and (2) to identify differences between the outcomes the Thai Healthy Aging Instrument (HAI) and the Personal Wellbeing Index (PWI) in older Thai adults 60 years and older based on the types of living arrangements. The Convoy Model of Social Relations was used as a guide for understanding the multifactorial nature of the social connection (Kahn & Antonucci, 1980). A convenience sampling design was used to recruit 139 participants living in Tambon Hua Ngom, Chiang Rai province, Thailand, for at least a year.The sample included adults age 60 years and older who read and spoke Thais and had been participated in the elderly school at least once a month for one year. Among the participants (N = 139), 30 lived alone, and 109 lived with others. The findings of this study indicated that there were no statistically significant relationships between demographic characteristics between those who lived alone and those living with others, except for marital status. The participants living alone were more likely to be widowers compared to those living with others (p < .05).The results of this study indicated that the different living arrangements had an impact on healthy aging, specifically on the Managing Stress Factor, but no impact on well-being among the participants who have been participating in the elderly schools. The participants living alone with a child nearby reported the lowest scores for the item "I am not worried without reason" while the participants living alone without a child nearby reported the lowest scores for the item "I consult someone when I have a problem" compared to the other types of living arrangements (p < .05). The other study indicated that older Thai adults who were childless and lived alone were more likely to report significant psychological distress. Contrary, the findings of this study indicated that the participants living with or without a child in the same village were more vulnerable and had difficulty managing their stress and not those who were childless and lived alone.
