Variation in the impact of social network characteristics on physical functioning in elderly persons: MacArthur Studies of Successful Aging.
TLDR
The effects of social support and social networks may vary according to the individual's gender and baseline physical capabilities, and studies of functional decline among elderly persons should not ignore this population variation in the effects ofsocial networks.
