The Concept of Quality of Life
Abstract
Despite the fact that, in the current debate, quality of life is depicted as something very desirable, its concept is seldom specified. With regard to previous research into welfare and quality of life, a model of an overall concept of quality of life is presented here. The theoretical analysis ends in and is woven into an empirical application. The application consists of a prospective longitudinal investigation of alcoholics who receive disability pensions. This report is the first in a planned series from the research project “Abuse of alcohol — Disability pension — Quality of life”.

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.
