Abstract
ABSTRACTThis study examined the frequency with which race was of relative importance to several variables important to the quality of later life. Results from multivariate procedures showed race to be of relative importance in three of sixteen analyses: adequacy of income, decision to live with a daughter rather than a son, and life satisfaction. Race was of no relative importance to the extent of social interaction; morale, retirement satisfaction, and loneliness; decisions to live alone or with others; health; transportation; and service utilization. The results suggest that in a rural area race is of less frequent relative importance to the life situation of older adults than health and other social and economic factors.
