A follow-up study of 864 aged persons found that physical mobility, education, occupation, and continued employment were all significant predictors of longevity. Mobility was the single strongest predictor, but the three socioeconomic variables accounted for two-thirds of the explained variance in longevity. It was concluded that socioeconomic factors probably increase longevity in a variety of ways. © 1973 The Gerontological Society of America. All rights reserved.
