The purpose of this study was to analyze the contextual effect of Elderly Integrated Health Post, socioeconomic determinant, physical and psychological health on the quality of life of the elderly. Subjects and Method: The design of the study was cross sectional. This study was conducted in Klaten, Central Java, from August to September 2019. A sample of 200 elderly people aged ≥60 years was selected by simple random sampling. The dependent variable was the quality of life of the elderly. The dependent variables were marital status, employment status, income, eating pattern, physical activity, nap, sexual activity, and activeness to participate in Integrated Health Post. The data was obtained by using questionnaires. Eating patterns were measured by DDS questionnaire. Physical activity data were measured by PASE. Data on quality of life of the elderly were measured using WHOQOL-OLD. The data were analyzed by multilevel. Results: The quality of life in elderly improved with marriage (b= 4.94; 95% CI= 2.49 to 7.34; p<0.001), working (b= 6.47; 95% CI= 3.18 to 9.76; p<0.001), high income (b= 3.91; 95% CI= 1.45 to 6.37; p= 0.002), good eating pattern (b= 2.08; 95% CI= 0.14 to 4.02; p= 0.036), high physical activity (b= 3.87; 95% CI= 0.80 to 6.93; p= 0.013), adequate nap time (b= 6.29; 95% CI= 3.05 to 9.55; p <0.001), active sexual activity (b= 2.97; 95% CI= 0.93 to 5.02; p= 0.004), and often attend integrated health post (b= 2.18; 95% CI= 0.28 to 4.09; p= 0.025).
