“…Subjective health status is an important measure for assessing HRQOL and is directly related to quality of life [31]. Subjective health status was a factor affecting quality of life, even for older adults with chronic diseases [32]. Older adults with good physical function showed better subjective health status [33], and those who had more social activities perceived their status more positively [34].…”

With the increase in the aging population worldwide, social interest in having a vibrant and valuable old age has been increasing with changes in the perspectives on old age. This study aimed to determine the relationship between active aging and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in middle-aged and older Korean using national data. The subjects were 14,117 adults aged ≥55 years. HRQOL was evaluated using the EuroQol–5 Dimension (EQ-5D) questionnaire, and active aging was defined based on the health factors, participation factors, and security factors. The average EQ-5D score was 91.04 ± 0.143. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis sequentially inputting the health, participation, and security factors showed that health factors had the strongest influence on HRQOL (F = 216.656, p < 0.001). In the final model, which included all variables, activity limit (B = −10.477, p < 0.001) and subjective health status (B= −7.282, p < 0.001) were closely related to the HRQOL. In addition, economic activity, income level, home ownership, private health insurance, and unmet healthcare needs were associated with HRQOL. The R2 of the model was 38.2%. To improve the HRQOL of middle-aged and older people, it is necessary to consider active aging factors. Furthermore, follow-up studies using various indicators reflecting active aging should be conducted.

“…Focussing on physical functioning literature in medical science (Ciorba, Bianchini, Pelucchi, & Pastore, 2012; Grimby, Milsom, Molander, Wiklund, & Ekelund, 1993; Harris, Lamping, Brown, & Constantinovici, 2002; Montuclard et al, 2000; Schrier, Dekker, Kaptein, & Dijkman, 1990) also try to explain QoL, but their contributions are confined in objective-oriented conceptual definitions and mostly directed towards situational health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Perceived health (Ju & Kim, 2015) and mental health (Ju & Kim, 2015; McCall, Cohen, Reboussin, & Lawton, 1999; Ormel, Rijsdijk, Sullivan, van Sonderen, & Kempen, 2002, like depression, also have a direct bearing on QoL in late life. However, morbidity incidence can cause depressive disorder followed by functional disability (Gureje, Ogunniyi, Kola, & Afolabi, 2006) and deteriorate health condition waning independent living.…”

The article attempts to understand the role of various determinants of quality of life (QoL) in two different demographic and cultural contexts—India and China. Along with appropriate model identification, the study discusses the role of influential factors of the QoL of elderly individuals of the demographic giants. Findings confirm the multifactorial nature of QoL and suggest that all of the determinants do not identically influence QoL at different levels. It has been found that socio-economic factors have a stronger influence on QoL, in both the countries, than the physiological indicators. Perception regarding QoL of elderly people, in two cultural contexts, does not deviate substantially, except for gender, lower level of education, observed health measures and formal social cohesion. The analysis suggests important policy implications.

“…However, a patients' perceptions of personal HRQOL, is highly variable as it is prominently based on cultural, social, and educational backgrounds (10); and in many cases their comparison with other patients (11). Nevertheless, HRQOL should be measured to evaluate the impact of a medical condition or procedure on patients' quality of life (12). This assessment of life quality can differ from one country to another, and it has not been evaluated in Saudi Arabia.…”

Background: Health-related factors differ from one culture to another based on provided health services and the prevalence of different diseases. Accordingly, identifying these factors is crucial to improve the overall quality of life. The objective of this study is to explore the factors affecting health-related quality of life among adult outpatients living in Saudi Arabia.Methods: A cross-sectional study using a 50-item questionnaire investigated different aspects of healthrelated quality of life in 10 Saudi hospitals in Riyadh region between the years 2018-2019. A Linear regression analysis was performed to determine the predictors influencing health-related quality of life.Results: A total of 806 participants from different regions of Saudi Arabia responded to this customized questionnaire. The average HRQOL score was 285.23 (27.47) out of a maximum score of 350. The highest average score was achieved in the social, environmental, and economic domain 6.99 (0.78). The lowest average score was achieved in health and activity of daily living domain 5.29 (0.70). Conclusion:The Saudi adult patient population had an above-average level of HRQOL. This result indicates that culture does play a factor in impacting the generic outcome measurement of HRQOL.
