“…In the literature, there are researches that compares the quality of life of the older adults' living alone with the others. Lee et al and Chou et al found that older adults living alone had lower level of quality of life, than living with others [11,12]. In our study older adults living alone was not the most disadvantaged group for the quality of life.…”

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between different types of living arrangement, quality of life and depressive symptoms of older adults. This study was conducted in 2012 in the provincial centre of Kayseri, Turkey. Four groups were formed according to living arrangements of older adults; living alone, living with spouse only, living with spouse and children, living with other family members without spouse. Socio-demographic questionnaire, activities of daily living scale (ADL), World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment for Older Adults (WHOQOL OLD) questionnaire and the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) were administered. The mean depression score (13.9±6.6) of the older adults participated in the study was high. Nearly fifty percent (45.8 %) of the whole group had depressive symptoms. Among older adults living with other family members without spouse, median ADL score (11.0, min: 1.0, max: 12.0) was lowest (p=0.001), mean GDS score (16.3±5.9) was highest (p=0.011) and two domains of quality of life scores mean: autonomy (p=0.002) and social participation (p=0.006) were lowest. Older adults living with other family members without spouse were more likely to be ADL restricted and worse at autonomy and social participation. As having depressive symptoms were common among older adults especially the ones having more risk (poor economic situation, restricted ADL and living in an extended family) should be followed closely by health professionals.

“…In 47%, cognitive factors were not mentioned at all (Table 1). A few studies considered cognitive and other mental changes as natural ageing processes, that influenced the choice of administrative methods, such as reducing the number of questions posed (Hellstrom et al 2004b;Tidermark et al 2004), using a probing guide (Andersson et al 2006) and training interviewers (Lee et al 2006).

The review included 47 papers. A total of 40 different measurements were applied in the studies, assessing most frequently functional status and symptoms. The most extensive psychometric evidence was documented for the SF-36. Although construct validity was reported in the majority of studies, minimal empirical evidence was given for other psychometric properties. Further, 87% of the studies lacked a conceptual framework and 55% did not report any methodological considerations related to older adults. Quality control standards, which can guide measurement assessment and subsequent data interpretation, are needed to enhance more consistent reporting of the psychometric properties of QoL instruments utilized. Future work on the development of common QoL assessment models that are both person-centered, causal and multidimensional based on collaborative efforts from professionals interested in QoL from the international gerontological research community are needed.
