Health: Elderly Rural Women's Conceptions

Elizabeth DePoy

Sandra S. Butler

The study presented here examined how 218 elderly rural women defined and sought to maintain their health and examined the extent to which social networks, age, endurance, adaptation, and proactivity are related to health. It found that the respondents viewed health as the absence of illness and considered giving and productivity essential to their health.
