Abstract
BUGALLO CARRERA, César; GANDOY CREGO, Manuel and GOMEZ CANTORNA, Cristina. The quality of life of the users of a community center for elderly. Gerokomos [online]. 2014, vol.25, n.3, pp.103-106. ISSN 1134-928X. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1134-928X2014000300004.
In this investigation we have tried to verify if the assistance to the community centers of major persons is an effective way for the improvement of the major persons's quality of life, that is to say, if the users of the above mentioned centers have a better quality of life that those that do not come to them. For it, we have possessed an experimental group and a group control. Later we have gone on to them to both groups two tests: one that values the quality of life and other one the cognitive deterioration. Once spent the tests and obtained the punctuations we have concluded that the users of the community center have a major quality of life that the subjects that do not come to it.
