LOBOS, Germán et al. Estimating Subjective Quality of Life in Urban Seniors in Chile. Lect. Econ. [online]. 2021, n.95, pp.199-230. Epub 01-Oct-2021. ISSN 0120-2596. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.le.n95a342424.
In recent years, measurement of quality of life has received increased attention. We use the satisfaction with life and subjective happiness scales in older adults living in urban areas in the Maule Region, Chile; generalized linear models are used (n = 396). We find that (1) gender is linked to satisfaction with life, (2) satisfaction with one’s own economic situation have significant effects on satisfaction with life and happiness, and (3) health, family and satisfaction with food are the most important predictors of both satisfaction with life and happiness.
