European perspectives on quality of life in old age

Authors: Alan Walker, Ariela Lowenstein

Published in: European Journal of Ageing | Issue 2/2009

Excerpt

The main purpose of this special section of the European Journal of Ageing is to provide a sample of research that is at the forefront of European work on the quality of life (QoL) of older people. The five articles, from their different perspectives, provide overviews of recent developments in this field from several European countries, addressing and examining the topic at various levels: the micro level of the individual, the meso level of the family and community and the macro level of the society. These issues are of interest not only to European researchers and practitioners, but also to a global audience. …
