This study focused on perceptions of quality of life (QoL) among people aged 65 or over, in good health, living in one London Borough. It reveals the impact that both type of residence and the individual's social comparison strategy leave on QoL. Those taking part in the research were classified by their type of residence and standard measures of QoL and health status were used.
