Abstract

Well-being is the result of the balance between the various dimensions of the functional capacity of the elderly, without necessarily meaning no problems in all dimensions. The results, through the application of the SPF-IL scale and the Mann-Whitney U test, showed the existence of statistically significant differences in comfort, selfe steem and in the global dimension alongside with differences on lifestyle and habits.
