“…Overall, our results for perceived HRQoL among community-dwelling older patients in Malaga (southern Spain) are consistent with those reported in similar studies conducted in other regions of Spain [31,32] and elsewhere in Europe [33]. With respect to the components of physical and mental health, the average PCS score (43.2) is slightly higher than that obtained in previous research [31,32,33,34], while the MCS (48.5) is somewhat lower than the average value for six European countries (54.3), also obtained using the SF-12 [33]. This lower score in the MCS could be due to cultural differences, and/or the non-negligible prevalence of psychopathological disorders (mainly anxiety and/or depression) in our region (these pathologies affect 36% of the older population).…”

The main aim of this study was to determine the association of various clinical, functional and pharmacological factors with the physical (PCS) and mental (MCS) summary components of the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of community-dwelling older adults. Design: Cross-sectional study. Patients and setting: Sample of 573 persons aged over 65 years, recruited at 12 primary healthcare centres in Málaga, Spain. Sociodemographic, clinical, functional, and comprehensive drug therapy data were collected. The main outcome was HRQoL assessed on the basis of the SF-12 questionnaire. A multinomial logistic regression model was constructed to study the relationship between independent variables and the HRQoL variable, divided into intervals. The average self-perceived HRQoL score was 43.2 (± 11.02) for the PCS and 48.5 (± 11.04) for the MCS. The factors associated with a poorer PCS were dependence for the instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), higher body mass index (BMI), number of medications, and presence of osteoarticular pathology. Female gender and the presence of a psychopathological disorder were associated with worse scores for the MCS. The condition that was most strongly associated with a poorer HRQoL (in both components, PCS and MCS) was that of frailty (odds ratio (OR) = 37.42, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 8.96–156.22, and OR = 20.95, 95% CI = 7.55–58.17, respectively). It is important to identify the determinant factors of a diminished HRQoL, especially if they are preventable or modifiable.

“…Future research should investigate the differences in health-related quality of life in older men and women between urban and rural areas. With respect to the components of physical and mental health, the average PCS score in our sample is slightly higher than that obtained in previous research [45,46], while the MCS is similar to the average value for six European countries (mean MCS score of 54.3) obtained using the SF-12 [46]. This higher PCS score in our sample may be due to participants' younger age and lower prevalence of obesity compared with the samples in prior studies.…”

During later life, inadequate social interactions may be associated with worse quality of life in older adults. Rural older adults are prone to developing unhealthy lifestyles related to social activities, which can lead to a poorer quality of life than that enjoyed by older adults living in urban areas. This study aimed to describe longitudinal changes in social activity participation and health-related quality of life among rural older adults, exploring potential associations with changes to in-person social activity over four years. We used prospective community-based cohort data from the Korean Social Life, Health, and Aging Project (KSHAP) collected between December 2011 and January 2016. The sample included 525 older adults who completed the measure of health-related quality of life. Our results showed a significant change in health-related quality of life according to changes in participation in meeting with friends. Even though an individual’s participation in other social activities did not show significant differences in health-related quality of life, our findings imply that in-person social activities may be an important resource to encourage participation in physical activities and to develop other positive outcomes, such as a sense of belonging or satisfaction with later life, among rural older adults.

“…As in the present study, it has been observed that health-related quality of life is impacted by multiple pathologies, (34) although it is also related to a decrease in the two components of HRQoL in patients with only one pathology, (35,36) generally associated with chronic conditions. It is important to note that an association was found in the elderly population of Castellón between the mental component of quality of life and comorbidity, as in a study conducted in Tarragona with an adult population.…”

Resumo Objetivo: Examinar as relações entre qualidade de vida, nutrição e fragilidade em indivíduos não institucionalizados com idade acima de 75 anos. Método: Estudo observacional, transversal e analítico realizado através da aplicação de um questionário com uma amostra de indivíduos com mais de 75 anos de idade residentes na comunidade e selecionados através de amostragem por conveniência durante o ano de 2015. Resultados: Uma proporção maior de mulheres apresentou baixa qualidade de vida em relação aos homens: 20,9% contra 9% (p<0,01). O risco de desnutrição foi associado a baixa qualidade de vida (35%) (23,4%) (p<0,000). Uma proporção maior de indivíduos fragilizados apresentou baixa qualidade de vida: 55,7% contra 17,4% (p<0.000). Conclusão: A qualidade de vida dos idosos é influenciada pela presença de sintomas de depressão, estado nutricional, sexo, fragilidade e incapacidade básica e instrumental.
