Follow-up information from three groups of older persons (community residents, clinic clients, the institutionalized) confirms and extends data presented by Yolmans and Yarrow [1] indicating that increasing interdependence among different areas of functioning increases with age, possibly resulting in increased vulnerability in time of loss. Some implications of these findings were indicated.
