Health, wealth and lifesyles of older people

This new study reveals that the health and well-being of older people are strongly related to wealth and social position. The study, conducted jointly by University College London, the Institute for Fiscal Studies and the National Centre for Social Research has collected detailed information from over 12,000 people aged 50 and over. It will continue to follow the same group of people over time to build up a unique picture of how older people live in Britain today.
