摘要

BACKGROUND: In Palestine, persons older than 60 years of age comprise 4.6 of the population in this decade and will remain relatively stable until the year 2020, when it is expected to begin to rise. The quality of life (QoL), which reflects well-being and health status, is under-reported in this vulnerable group in the Gaza Strip.OBJECTIVE: Determine QoL and associated factors in persons aged older than 60 years.DESIGN: A community-based cross-sectional study.SETTING: Five Gaza Strip governorates.SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Subjects were selected by convenience sampling. We used the validated Arabic WHOQOL-BREF to assess QoL and used descriptive, univariate and multivariate methods to analyze the data.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: QoL, overall satisfaction with health and factors associated with good QoL.SAMPLE SIZE: 235 community-dwelling elderly.RESULTS: The response rate was 85.5 (201/235). Mean age (SD) was 69 (7.95) years old and females accounted for 57.7 (116/201) of the sample. Almost half (44.2, 90/201) of the elderly scored in the category of good QoL. The mean (SD) for overall QoL and perceived satisfaction with health was 3.3 (1.1) and 3.4 (1.0), respectively, on a 5-point Likert scale. The social relationship domain had the highest QoL score (65.4 15.3), whereas physical and environmental domains received equally lower scores (60.5 15.2 and 60.5 12.5 respectively). Multivariate analysis showed that factors associated with good QoL were higher education (OR: 3.1, CI 95: 1.03-9.4) and perceived high satisfaction with health (OR: 3.6, CI 95: 1.8-7.3).CONCLUSION: More years of education and higher satisfaction with health were associated with a better perception of QoL. Interventions should be focused more on physical and environmental aspects in the life of elderly persons.LIMITATIONS: Cross-sectional design, use of convenience sample and some possibly important factors not studied.CONFLICT OF INTEREST: None.
