| Abstract : | The purpose of this study is to examine the correlations between volunteering and health among older persons thorugh a longitudinal data from the 1993 and 2000 panels. The findings provide empirical support to earlier claims that volunteering slows the decline in self-reported health and functioning levels, slows the increase in depression levels, and improves mortality rates for those who volunteer. |
