Abstract

While the places and causes of death are the subject of abundant literature, the circumstances surrounding the end of life, the ultimate phase of existence, remain largely not explored in France. The pathways through different living places taken by people aged 80 and over during the last month of existence and the factors associated with them are described thanks to the unique information and data collected by the ?End of Life in France? survey.
