The association between frailty and quality of life when aging in place.

Background And Objectives: Advanced age is often associated with frailty, which in turn is associated with low quality of life. This study explores to what extent multidimensional frailty is associated with multidimensional quality of life.

Material And Methods: A cross-sectional survey study was conducted in a sample of 336 Flemish older people aging in place.

The quality of life of older people aging in place: a literature review.

Purpose: In order to cope with the challenges that are the result of an aging population, policies and services promote keeping elders in the community and letting them age in place rather than sending them to specialized institutions. Aging in place refers to the option where people can stay in their homes as they age. This policy option, however, poses various challenges and may also threaten the quality of life of the aging.
