Using the data from China Longitudinal Ag-ing Social Survey in 2018,this paper analyzes the impact of the community age-friendly environment on the life satisfaction of the elderly,and further explores its pathways.The results show that the more community activity places/facilities,the more community elderly care services and the better the community at-mosphere for respecting and caring for the elderly,the elderly's life satisfaction scores are significantly higher.The community age-friendly environment has a direct effect on the life satisfac-tion of the elderly.At the same time,social adjustment had a significant mediating effect on the impact of community age-friendly environment on the life satisfaction of the elderly,and the indirect effect accounted for 12.25%of the total effect.This study provides useful inspiration for us to actively respond to the aging population,the construction of age-friendly communities and the improvement of the subjective well-being of the elderly in China.
