Abstract

This paper aims to examinate the relationship between the practice of leisure activities and personal and living conditions of the population and its influence on global Quality of Life (QoL). Data come from a representative sample of 499 respondents with 65 years old and more in community-dwelling in the Madrid Region. Objective and subjective indicators related to leisure activities and other attributes of QoL and personal characteristics of the elderly are used. Univariate and bivariate statistical techniques are applied as well as cluster analysis. The results show different leisure practices and influence on the QoL of the elderly, in relation to personal characteristics, health status and the ways of life of the population.
