“…Most of the HIV positive respondents on ART in this study were females. Our results confirm those of previous studies that have shown that the HIV/AIDS epidemic in South Africa is characterized by gender inequalities and that almost sixty percent of these infections occur in women (Robberstad and Olsen 2010;Lahariya et al 2012).…”

This study aimed to investigate the health related quality of life (HRQoL) of people living in lower socio-economic areas comparing HIV positive on anti-retroviral treatment (ART) and HIV negative respondents and investigating the factors associated with their HRQoL. In total 600 respondents in eThekwini, KwaZulu-Natal were included from both phase one (household sample) and phase two (clinic sample). The Euro Quality of life (EQ 5D) instrument and the Visual Analogue Score (EQ-VAS) were used. The majority of the respondents (79.0 %) were females, and those who were HIV positive on ART were younger than those who were HIV negative, mean age [34.8 years (8.85 SD) vs. 37.1 years (14.65 SD; HIV negative females; p = 0.02)]. Males with a higher perceived quality of health-score [50 % were two and a half times more likely to have attended high school and to experience no pain/discomfort when compared to those reporting pain/ discomfort (OR 0.32, 95 % CI 0.16, 0.64). The odds of females reporting problems with their mobility and usual activities compared to no such problems, were associated with lower EQ VAS scores [OR 2.10 (1.20, 3.67) and OR 2.22 (1.21, 4.08)], respectively. For both HIV positive respondents on ART and HIV negative respondents living in lower socio & Prishah Narsai

“…Similar findings are present in a study conducted by Lahariya et al, where about 48.5% subjects had some form of impairment and only about 28.5% subjects had no disability or impairment. 5 Also, as the age advanced the percentage of individuals with impairment or disability increased which is similar to the trend observed by Lahariya et al, in his study. 5 This may be attributed to the fact that the elderly suffer from chronic diseases as the age advances.…”

“…The gender distribution in our study is almost similar to that reported by Lahariya et al, where about 44.5% of subjects were males and 55.5% of subjects were females. 5 Females have more life expectancy hence they tend to outnumber the male geriatric participants. Almost more than half of the respondents who were interviewed were from three generation families (51.46%), while 42.69% were from nuclear family.…”

“…These chronic illnesses lead to impairments and disabilities, which affects the health-related quality of life of the elderly. 5 In India, the elderly people experience two types of medical complications: communicable and non-communicable diseases. 6 Quality of life (QOL) for an elder person has become increasingly important as an outcome in public health research.…”

Background: Ageing is generally defined as a process of deterioration in the functional capacity of an individual that results from structural changes, with increasing age. Although old age is not a disease in itself; the elderly are vulnerable to chronic diseases like cardiovascular illnesses, cancers, diabetes etc. leading to impairment and disabilities affecting the health related quality of life of the elderly (HRQOL), which has become an increasingly important outcome in public health research. The main aim is to estimate the common impairments and disabilities among elderly and its effect on their health-related quality of life.Methods: In the community based cross-sectional study, among 171 elderly (more than or equal to sixty years of age) selected from the field practice area of Urban Health Centre of a tertiary care center, Goa, through simple random sampling technique, the data was collected using a pre designed structured questionnaire eliciting previously diagnosed health related conditions, SF-36 HRQOL questionnaire and a detailed general examination. Data was analysed using Epi Info version 7.00 statistical package and various tests of significance were used.Results: Of total of 171 elderly, 56.14% were impaired. The HRQOL and domain scores decreased with increasing age with lower mean scores in females than males (p=0.039). Age, marital status, three generation families, absence of co-morbidities, impairment and disability, education, occupation were significant favorable influences on the HRQOL in (total and domain scores), role of physical domain being the most commonly affected.Conclusions: The increasing population of elderly more so the female elderly population, the emergence of double burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases, presence of impairments and disabilities severely affects their HRQOL.

“…The lack of hearing, vision, mobility, and increased risk of non-communicable diseases will appear along with the aging process [3] [4]. The mobility function plays an important role in the healthy aging, closely related to the quality of life of the elderly [5].…”

Abstract-This study aims to analyze the influence of chronicconditions and chronic diseases on elderly mobility function in Indonesia using the panel data of IFLS 3, IFLS 4, and IFLS 5. The sample is a balanced panel of elderly aged 60 and above in IFLS 5, who have completed retrospective information and can be traced back since IFLS 3. This study uses the random-effects ordered logistic models. The self-assessed health status, marital status, residence area, working status, body mass index, education, gender, and age are used as covariates. The results suggest that the elderly probability of experiencing limited mobility function is increasing with age; while chronic conditions and chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and stroke significantly affect the impairment of mobility function of the elderly in Indonesia. Other covariates also have significant effects on elderly mobility function, except for residence area and marital status variables.
