Predictors for the Level of Quality of Life Among Older Adults: Approaches to the Effect of Sociodemographic and Chronic Diseases

This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the quality of life (QOL) and chronic disease prevalence among 265 individuals over the age of 60. Utilizing the quality-of-life index (QLI), data were collected through an online questionnaire from eligible participants, not mentally disabled. Significant variations in chronic conditions were found based on marital status, education, employment, and daily activities. QOL declined with age, divorce, unemployment, and dependency on caregivers but improved with a university degree. Living with family positively impacted overall QOL, while older age, unemployment, dependency, hypertension, and kidney disease were associated with lower QOL scores across various domains. Sociodemographic factors and chronic conditions had pivotal role in shaping the QOL for individuals over the age of 60, emphasizing the importance of targeted interventions for improved well-being in this population.
