“…Population aging is one of the most challenging public health issues in today's world (16); as a result, the prevalence of chronic diseases and the need to care for elderly adults have increased (17). On the other hand, achieving a higher level of QOL in the elderly has been more concerned by policymakers compared to solely raising their life expectancy (18).…”

Background: Quality of life (QOL) in the elderly has not been investigated as much as their life expectancy. Objectives: The present study aimed to evaluate the elders’ QOL. Methods: In this study, 386 elders were selected using the multistage cluster random sampling method. The Leiden-Padua (LIEPAD) questionnaire, consisting of the core components (CCQOL) and moderators (MQOL) of QOL, was used and analyzed with SPSS software. Results: The interviewees’ mean age was 68.12 ± 6.24 years. The QOL score was 83.67 ± 13.75 (out of 127), consisting of 27 (6.9%) elders with low, 316 (81.8%) elders with moderate, and 43 (11%) elders with high levels of QOL. The CCQOL and MQOL scores were 70.68 ± 9.42 (out of 93), and 20.94 ± 2.30 (out of 34), respectively. According to the multivariate analysis, sleep disorders (B = -0.15), osteoporosis (B = -0.14), female gender (B = -0.13), and not being the source of family income (B = -0.13) were inversely correlated with QOL. In contrast, sleep disorders, facing violence, female gender, migraine, psychological diseases, and not being the source of family income were inversely correlated with CCQOL. Sexual problems, facing violence, no supplementary insurance coverage, inability to walk, and migraine had inverse correlations with MQOL. Conclusions: Seven out of ten elders had a moderate level of QOL, while elderly females and elders with chronic diseases or those who were not the source of family income had lower levels of QOL. Accordingly, the elders’ QOL can be improved by integrating the elders’ care programs in the health centers.

“…There are growing numbers of older people worldwide [1], since their life expectancy has markedly increased over the past century, mainly due to public health improvements [2]. By 2050, the world's population aged 60 years and older is expected to reach 2 billion, up from 900 million in 2015 [3,4].…”

Background Quality of life (QOL) in the elderly people was not addressed as much as their life expectancy. Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate the QOL in the elders. Method In this cross-sectional study, the elders were selected by multi-stage cluster random sampling from health centers-covered population of Shiraz, Iran and interviewed individually. The Persian version of the Leiden-Padua (LIEPAD) questionnaire, consisting of core components (CCQOL) and moderators (MQOL) of QOL was used. SPSS software (version 25) was applied for data analysis. Results The mean age of 386 participants was 68.12 ± 6.24 years. The female to male ratio was 1.1 and 350 (90.7%) educated up to 12 years. The mean score of QOL (sum of CCQOL and MQOL) was 83.67 ± 13.75 (out of 147); consisting of 27 (6.9%) participants with low, 316 (81.8%) with moderate and 43 (11%) with high level of QOL. The mean scores of CCQOL and MQOL were 70.68 ± 9.42 (out of 93) and 14.14 ± 2.46 (out of 54), respectively. Multivariable analysis showed that sleep disorder (B = -0.15), osteoporosis (B = -0.14), female gender (B = -0.13), and not being the source of family income (B = -0.13) were significantly and inversely associated with QOL, while sleep disorder, facing to violence, female gender, migraine, psychological disease and not being the source of family income were inversely associated with CCQOL. Sexual problem, facing to violence, not having supplementary insurance, inability to walk and migraine had a significant and an inverse correlation with MQOL. Conclusion Four out of five elders in the Shiraz region have moderate level of QOL, while the elder females and the elders with chronic diseases, as well as the elders who are not the source of their family income had a lower level of QOL. Quality of life in the elders can be improved through an integrated care program in the health centers.
