Moving around a Large City in Latin America
A growing body of research has shown that barriers in the urban environment can be disabling by reducing the ability of older people to manage independently in the community, but also because they can negatively affect health by limiting the possibilities to move outside the home. In this study, we ask how obstacles in the urban environment are associated with the need for help to go to places in the community. To respond to this question, we use…

Self-perceived health status, gender, and work status
This study analyzes the relationship between gender and self-perceived health status in Spanish retirees and housewives from a sample of 1,106 community-dwelling older adults.

Retired males reported a significantly better health status than…

METHODS: A face-to-face quality of life survey was conducted in a representative sample of the Spanish population comprising 1,106 non-institutionalized elderly aged 60 or more in 2008. Logistic regression models were used to explain self-perceived health status according to the EuroQol Group Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS). Independe…
The Relative Contribution of Health Status and Quality of Life Domains in Subjective Health in Old Age
Residential satisfaction, sense of belonging and loneliness among older adults living in the community and in care facilities

Factors Associated With Loneliness of Noninstitutionalized and Institutionalized Older Adults
Findings have potential implications for targeting older adults at risk for loneliness
Identifying Connections Between the Subjective Experience of Health and Quality of Life in Old Age
The importance of qualitative methods in quality of life (QoL) studies is being increasingly recognized. Whereas attention has mainly focused on the exploration of relevant domains, subjective well-being, and representations of health in aging, less consideration has been given to relations among different QoL domains. We aimed in this research to identify connections between subjective health and other relevant domains from the perspective of ol…
Health services use by older people with disabilities in Spain
As people grow older in late life, their need for help with the activities of daily living increases.

Support may be from formal care, informal care or both, and the type has different consequences for care receivers and their social networks. The aim of this paper is to examine the relationship between informal and formal care and the use of …
