Relocation: Its Effect on Health, Functioning and Mortality.
Borup, Jerry H.; And Others
Gerontologist, v20 n4 p468-79 Aug 1980
Relocation of older patients had a positive effect on hypochondria, stamina, hygiene, and daily functioning but no effect on health status. Self-health assessments, stamina, hypochondria, and hygiene had no effect on the mortality rate of relocated patients, but daily functioning did effect the mortality rate. (Author)
