| Annotation | Most of the research on older Blacks in the US ignores the existence of a middle class, and tends to be concerned with the level of their poverty or the incidence of morbidity or mortality. The findings of this study of 59 Black women aged 75+ indicates that satisfaction with quality of life is significantly associated with belonging to a family and social support network that includes church, as well as maintaining physical health, independence and personal safety.
