The problem of life adjustment as related to relocation of the elderly was reported in this study. Social and psychological data on the study population were obtained by interview and health status by physical examination. A group of 68 subjects aged 65 years and over who experienced enforced relocation because of urban renewal showed higher scores of maladjustment, as measured by the life satisfaction index, than the control group of nonrelocated 69 aged persons. Relocation had a more adverse effect on females than males, and blacks seemed to adjust better than whites. In addition, the study showed that for those who were in poor health life satisfaction was lower among those relocated. The study also revealed that social interaction of the elderly with their environment is decisive for life adjustment. There is suggestive evidence that physical and social stress contributes to the problem of personal adjustment of the elderly.
