Abstract

Drawing upon a multidimensional approach to quality of life, differences in quality of life of the elderly from the Comunidad Valenciana depending on context were examined. A representative sample of 93 subjects over 65 living at home (N=49), a public (N=22) or a private residence (N=22) was used. An analysis of variance on different variables regarding quality of life was performed. Differences between the elderly of the Comunidad Valenciana and the mean of the country also were examined, drawing upon a representative sample of 922 subjects living at home (N=459), a public (N=256) or a private residence (N=251). A comparison of means was computed for each variable in each context. Results show remarkable differences among contexts in social integration and environmental quality, as well as some differences in health and  lifestyles that might be specific of the Comunidad Valenciana
