“…As life expectancy increases, health status, psychosocial satisfaction, and quality of life of the elderly will be of great importance ( Seif, 2021 ). The importance of quality of life is such that health professionals have considered the focus of health care in the present century on improving the quality of life ( Melo, 2018 ).…”

Health professionals assume the quality of life (QOL) as a main outcome of health care activities, especially in the elderly. Thus, they need valid tools for evaluating the effectiveness of their interventions. This study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the World Health Organization quality of life-old questionnaire (WHOQOL-OLD). The questionnaire was translated into Persian by standard translate/back-translate procedure. The Cronbach’s alpha and intra-class correlation (ICC) coefficients were estimated to assess the internal validity and reliability. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) in a sample of 300 Persian-speaking elderly in Shiraz, Iran, were used for construct validity assessment. ROC curve analysis was used to determine the cutoff point for poor or good QOL. All the analyses were conducted using SPSS 24 and IBM AMOS 24. The internal consistency and reliability indices of the Persian version of WHOQOL-OLD were acceptable (Cronbach’s alpha: 0.66–0.95; ICC: 0.71–0.91). CFA confirmed the WHOQOL-OLD six-domain structure (CMIN/ df = 3.12, p < .001; CFI = 0.93; NFI = 0.89; RMSEA = 0.08). The ROC curve indicated 71.5 as the best cutoff point, with a sensitivity of 82.3% and specificity of 61.8%. The Persian version of the WHOQOL-OLD is valid and can be used for investigating the QOL in Persian-speaking elderly.

Background: Successful aging (SA) is considered an indicator of satisfaction of older people. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Otago Exercise Program (OEP) on SA among older women. Materials and Methods: quasi-experimental research with a control group was conducted in 2021 on 120 older women in Shiraz city, south Iran. Eligible samples were selected by a three-stage cluster sampling method and were classified into two equal intervention and control groups. Eight training sessions (exercises) were conducted for the intervention group using the OEP. SA questionnaire was completed at the beginning and 2 months after the intervention. The data were analyzed using the IBM-SPSS version 26, and the effect sizes were extracted. Results: The mean age of samples in the intervention and control groups was 69.71 + 59.59 and 68.83 + 5.08 years, respectively. Although there was no significant difference in the mean scores of SA between the two groups at the beginning of the study, 2 months after the intervention implementation, the mean scores of SA increased significantly in the intervention group ( t = 8.57, p ≤ .001). Conclusion: It seems that OEP is an effective strategy for supporting SA in older people.
