Brody, Elaine M.; Kleban, Morton H.

Gerontologist, v23 n1 p75-85 Feb 1983

Older people (N=132) reported details of their day-to-day mental and physical health symptoms. Pain of various types, fatigue/weakness, mental health symptoms, and worries, bothered the largest percentages of people. Different symptoms had differing effects in curtailing activities and disturbing sleep. Results underline the interrelationships among mental and physical symptoms. (Author/RC)
