| Annotation | This study focused on perceptions of quality of life (QoL) of people aged 65+ in good health, and living in the London Borough of Wandsworth. The study reveals the impact that both type of residence and the individual's social comparison strategy have on QoL. Those taking part in the research were classified by their type of residence; standard measures of QoL and health status were used. (RH). |
