Satisfaction with Social Support and Self-Rated Health in Older Adults.

Krause, Neal

Gerontologist, v27 n3 p301-08 Jun 1987

Examined whether older adults dissatisfied with the amount of social support they had received were more likely to rate their health as poorer than elderly people satisfied with the support they had received. Found satisfaction with support to be an important determinant of self-perceived health. (Author/ABB)
