“…Regarding medication, the number of drugs prescribed was positively associated with a very low HRQoL in the PCS. This finding is consistent with previous research, in which polymedication has been identified as a determinant factor of a poorer quality of life [12,13,14,40]. In our opinion, this association may be related to the side effects produced by the joint presence of several drugs within the patient.…”

“…In our sample, the BMI values observed presented two interesting aspects: on the one hand, at the mental level, a higher BMI was associated with a better HRQoL, but for the physical component it was significantly associated with a very low quality of life.

This is corroborated by the fact that interventions aimed at achieving weight loss have been shown to improve the physical quality of life [48].…”

In addition, our results suggest that the HRQoL scores among the participants in the hospital or nursing home settings were lower compared to the participants living in the community.…”

“…Those not receiving polymedication had higher levels for Factor 3 (Self-control; t = −2.971; p = .003), in agreement with the results of Lluch-Canut et al (2013), in which the patients who took more medication reported lower levels on four of the six factors (Satisfaction, Prosocial, Self-control and problem-solving, and Self-actualization). Another study carried out among older adults related a poorer quality of life with polymedication (Acar & Karaçil, 2018).…”
