Description
Alisha Thompson, Scott Wilks, and Rhonda Bardales tested in 2023 how social life links to quality of life in older adults living at home. Longer lives have not been matched by equal effort to raise later-life quality. Rich ties are thought to help body, mind, and thinking health.
Data came from a national survey of 746 adults aged sixty-five and older. Measures covered how much people engage with others and how good those ties feel. Quality of life rose with engagement and with each health measure. Being unmarried, being male, and certain ethnic backgrounds also shaped scores. The authors discuss what the pattern means for services that support older adults.
