P-331: Baseline characteristics of a two-year prospective study aiming to link clinical components, cognitive and gait performances in healthy old people (original) (raw)

European Geriatric Medicine, 2015

Abstract

Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge this is the first study that presents data on the relationship between smoking and life satisfaction of older people in EU countries living independently. Non-smoking older people report a higher level of life satisfaction compared to smoking older people. The relation between smoking behaviour, diseases, disabilities and life satisfaction is complicated because smoking is related to diseases with a high mortality rate and sometimes a relatively short period with disabilities before death.
