| Annotation | The impact of two different measures of personal control on mortality in late life is measured. The first reflects control over the three roles that are most important to older study participants. The second is a global measure that assesses control over life as a whole. Data provided by a US nationwide survey of 884 older people indicate that feelings of control over the single most important role significantly reduce the odds of dying. In contrast, control over the second and third most important roles are not related to mortality, nor are feelings of control over life as a whole. (RH). |
