Abstract
At the end of the first year of tenancy, new and assumedly better housing seemed beneficial to selfand interviewer-perceptions of health for movers compared to similar elderly persons. The question remained whether this was only a short-run benefit. In addition, the validity of the measures was questionable. Data collected after 8 years demonstrate the continuing health benefits of good housing, not only on “soft” indexes but also in terms of death rate.
