Quality of life: can it be an endpoint? How can it be measured?

RN Butler
Gerald and May Ellen Ritter Department of Geriatrics and Adult Development, Mount Sinai Medical Center, New York, NY 10029.

Although quality of life is an elusive concept constantly in flux, it is possible to identify certain basic criteria whose presence or absence determines the degree of quality in an older person's life. It is possible through a variety of measures to improve quality of life on both a personal and societal level. Improvements will be even greater once the major diseases of old age are conquered. We can get closer to that goal with greater investments in research on aging.
