Description
Antonina Kaczorowska, Małgorzata Kołodziej, Anna Sebastjan, and Zofia Ignasiak survey quality of life among 1,108 adults aged sixty to ninety in southwestern Poland. Using the WHOQoL-BREF questionnaire, they compare social and demographic groups across physical, psychological, social, and environmental domains. Overall, fifty-seven percent of respondents rated their quality of life as good.
Men scored higher than women in psychological and environmental domains. People in relationships scored higher in physical, social, and environmental domains. Higher education and good self-rated health also went with better scores nearly everywhere, and fewer chronic diseases helped. The authors urge policymakers to prioritize population health and educational access as levers on older adults' quality of life.
