| Annotation | Quality of life (QoL) for people with dementia has not always been a recognised concept. Nor is there any consensus on a definition of QoL; and little empirical research has been carried out attempting to define those qualities which make life and survival worthwhile. This literature review suggests sources on QoL and on measurements such as quality adjusted life years (QALYs), and the application of such assessment methods to QoL in dementia. (RH). |
