The process of aging highly depends on the combination of both environment as well as biological aspects. Aging in biological terms may vary due to genetic but environment plays a major role in affecting a person‟s well-being and health. Many environmental conditions including quality of health care and lifestyle have a substantial effect on aging. Social networks are considered to be significant regulator of the quality of life of the elderly people, importantly by allowing them to deal with difficult and stressful environments. With the help of social networks, the elderly persons with less income or health problems encounter the possible negative effects of such factors, thus encouraging the maintenance or promotion of the quality of life of these individuals. This study places great emphasis to address this gap by exploring: elderly retired people‟s stance and viewpoint on health and quality of life with respect to live independently at home; and retired people‟s requirements and desire in relation to commence and receive care and support. Hence, my research is primarily focused to review and analyze in a critical manner the relationship between the attributes of the social networks of elderly persons and their quality of life or other measures of well-being, in Lahore.Item Psycho-Social Reasons of Infidelity among Couples(UMT.lahore, 2019) Zunaira YousafInfidelity is not a new phenomenon by any means and is defined as having one or more extramarital affairs.
