Abstract

This article empirically explores the interrelations of three variables-sex, marital status, and the confidant relationship-and their joint effects on quality of life. It draws on a stratified random sample of 400 persons aged 65 and over residing in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The results suggest that a confidant relationship may be more important to the quality of life than the quantity of interactions with family or friends.
