The first main aim of the research will be to develop a reliable and valid measure of quality of life in older adults through the adaptation of the World Health Organization’s so-called WHOQOL. The second main aim will be to include the Older Adults WHOQOL in a cross-cultural study of healthy ageing, which will help to identify which factors are important within cultures and which are important in all cultures in their contribution to healthy ageing.
