520 _aThe present study is a comparative study of two populations that is designed to examine the quality of lifeĀ : elderly French people (n= 70) and elderly North-African immigrants (n= 67). As indicators of quality of life, we used life satisfaction, marital satisfaction, social and emotional loneliness, social support (availability and satisfaction), locus of control (distal predictor). Our findings showed that the main differences between the two groups concerned social isolation and social support availability. The immigrants reported greater feelings of social isolation and less social support than elderly French people. In addition, immigrants reported a larger influence of external factors (omnipotent others or chance) on their lives than elderly French people. These findings need to be replicated and validated. However, it should be borne in mind that social isolation and loneliness are well-established mortality risk factors.
