Correlates of Life Satisfaction Among the Aged
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.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
