Determinants of Quality of Life Among Older Adults in a Peri-Urban Community of Da Nang: A Multivariable Analysis
Nội dung chính của bài viết
Tóm tắt
Background: Population aging is accelerating in Viet Nam, increasing the need to better understand factors influencing quality of life (QoL) among older adults. This study examined determinants of QoL in a peri-urban community of Da Nang City.
Subject and methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 253 older adults selected through systematic random sampling. QoL was assessed using a validated 65-item instrument. Univariate analyses identified potential correlates, and multivariable linear regression determined independent predictors.
Results: Five variables were independently associated with QoL: educational attainment (β = 8.14; p = 0.016), living alone (β = -13.86; p = 0.011), leisure travel in the past year (β = 14.22; p = 0.003), chronic disease (β = -18.93; p < 0.001), and recent illness (β = -7.97; p = 0.025). The final model explained 38.1% of QoL variance. Conclusion: QoL among older adults is primarily influenced by social and health factors. Enhancing social support, promoting leisure engagement, and strengthening chronic disease management may improve well-being in aging populations.
