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

Objectives: This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the quality of life (QOL) and chronic disease prevalence among 265 individuals over the age of 60. Methods: Utilizing the quality-of-life index (QLI), data were collected through an online questionnaire from eligible participants, not mentally disabled. Results: 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. Conclusion: 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.
