For the present piece of research work total sample one hundred sixty (N=160) comprising aged women (n=80) and aged men (n=80) randomly selected from different locality of New Delhi. Subjects’ age were ranged between 60–75 years. Data collected door to door by maintaining social distance through questionnaires schedules individually from aged women and men during COVID–19 outbreaks. During the data collection respondents were taken in to confidence and assured them that responses provided by them on the items of questionnaire schedules will be kept strictly confidential.

Moreover, aged women have shown higher degree of social support than aged men, hence, significant difference have also been found between the group of aged men and women at .01 level of confidence towards their life satisfaction. The discrepancies of results obtained have been discussed in detail by giving probable reasons.
