Problems faced by the elderly women are more critical than men due to family and social conditionsprevailing in India.

Data werecollected from 160 elderly women. Results: 2.5% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.07-4.84) of the study participants were having ?DQ?verygood?DQ? QOL. 38.8% (95% CI: 31.2-46.4) had ?DQ?good,?DQ? 43.1% (95% CI: 35.4-50.8) had ?DQ?poor,?DQ? and 15.6% (95% CI:9.98-21.22) had ?DQ?very poor?DQ? QOL, respectively. QOL was least in the psychological domain followed by physical and health-related,social, and environmental domains. Logistic regression revealed age above 70 years (adjusted odds ratio [OR] - 11.3), nonpossession of property(adjusted OR - 8.99), neglecting attitude by family (adjusted OR - 6.9), and absence of visit by friends and relatives (adjusted OR - 9.9) as riskfactors, whereas residing in the urban area as a protective factor (adjusted OR - 0.1) for poor QOL. Conclusion: It is possible to improve theQOL of elderly women by providing financial security, ensuring care, and by enhancing social relationships of elderly women.
