For this purpose, 300 middle aged adults’ men, aged range from 40 years to 65 years (Mean age 50.72; SD 5.95), were conveniently sampled from different places of the Sheikhupura city. Life satisfaction was assessed by using Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) and level of education was measured using self-reported single item. Simple linear regression analysis yielded that there was a significantly positive association between education level and life satisfaction among this age group suggesting that increasing in education level likely to increase in life satisfaction. Promoting education level can be assumed one important factor to reduce loneliness.
