Summary/Abstract: The topic of considerations concerns the influence of demographic and social features on the life quality with the assumption that the feeling of social exclusion (marginalization) is its representative. Additionally life satisfaction resulting from the estimation of the basic needs satisfaction degree is one of the determinants. The subject of the research was a person aged 60+, a native inhabitant of one of four voivodeships of so called “Poland B”. Quantitative-qualitative research performed on a purposeful sample (n=400) was conducted in autumn 2014. The results of modelling with the use of logistic regression acknowledge the necessity of careful investigation of variables distribution structure because the prevailing frequency of the only one variant from possible variants of dependent variable observed in two voivodeships deteriorated the results of the whole sampling.
