The analysis was performed on a random sample of 1992 non-institutionalized older people from Poland. The interviews were conducted using structured questionnaire which include an abbreviation version of the DRM, the WHODAS II to assess functional health status, questions about self-rated health, presence of chronic diseases and household structure.The DRM showed good internal consistency and convergentvalidity.The analysis showed that older people spent around 67% of their awakening time in solitude. Spending most of time alone decreased well-being of respondents. Moreover, older people allocated most of their time on physical inactivity, what was related with worse health and functional status. Better functional status was associated with higher level of well-being. Significant association between well-being and time spent on physical inactivity among older individuals with very poor self-rated health was shown. More time spent on doing housework or shopping was associated with better functional status but pending most of time on daily living activities was related to worsening of well-being.}, title={Day reconstruction in older individuals in relations to functional status, chronic health conditions and structure of the household}, type={Praca doktorska}, keywords={The Day Reconstruction Method, time budget, subjective well-being, older people}, }
