Chronic diseases and functional limitations may have serious and persistent consequences for one's quality of life (QoL). Over time, however, their negative impact on QoL may diminish because of adaptation. Understanding how much people adapt helps to correctly separate the effects attributable to interventions from those arising from adaptation and thus facilitates a better estimation of the effects of disease and treatment on QoL. To date, however, there is little empirical evidence on adaptation in older populations. In particular, it is unclear to which extent dimensions of QoL like health and overall experience with life are influenced by adaptation.
