Abstract
Mortality rates were compared between older healthy community residents who relocated voluntarily to new apartment complexes and control group residents who did not so relocate. In addition, actuarial-type data were compared between relocators who lived and those who died within I year following the move. Evidence in the present study does not suggest that the lives of elderly people are shortened by the stress of such relocation.Keywords
