Abstract

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.

老年人生活质量水平的预测因素：社会人口统计学和慢性病影响的方法。

目的：本横断面研究旨在评估265名60岁以上个体的生活质量（QOL）和慢性疾病患病率。方法：采用生活质量指数（QLI），通过在线问卷收集符合条件的非智障参与者的数据。结果：慢性疾病在婚姻状况、教育、就业和日常活动方面存在显著差异。生活质量随着年龄、离婚、失业和对照顾者的依赖而下降，但随着大学学位而提高。与家人一起生活对总体生活质量有积极影响，而年龄、失业、依赖、高血压和肾脏疾病在各个领域都与较低的生活质量评分相关。结论：社会人口因素和慢性疾病在60岁以上人群的生活质量中起着关键作用，强调了有针对性的干预措施对改善这一人群福祉的重要性。
