The Health Consequences of Relocation among the Aged in the Community.

Ferraro, Kenneth F.

Journal of Gerontology, v38 n1 p90-96 Jan 1983

Utilized longitudinal data from a national sample of older people to examine how moving affects health. Findings indicated that moving adversely affects older people, whether the move is voluntary or involuntary. The benign effects of moving into senior housing facilities may be due to physical and social supports. (Author/JAC)
