Note. Life satisfaction, last observation before death. Intercorrelations of r = |.06| or above statistically significantly different from zero at p > .001. Scores for life satisfaction were standardized to a T metric (M = 50; SD = 10) using the 2002 SOEP sample as the reference frame (M = 6.90, SD = 1.81 on a 0–10 scale).
