Abstract
The objective of this study was to replicate and extend earlier studies of the correlates of life satisfaction among older persons. The findings concur with previous research in showing the importance of perceived health condition and financial adequacy as predictors of life satisfaction. The summary measures of the relationship between the predictor variables and life satisfaction are presented for the under- and over-age-65 populations to assess the influence of age as a moderator variable. The data were generated during an interview study based on a probability sample of the adult population in the United States.Keywords
