To assess subjective quality of life of an Iranian general population sample.
This was a population-based study. Quality of life was measured using the WHOQOL-BREF. The associations between socio-demographic variables and quality of life were assessed by both univariate and multivariate analyses.
In all, 1,164 individuals were studied. The mean age of the participants was 37.6 (SD = 13.2) years, and the mean score for quality of life domains (physical, psychological, social relationship and environment domains) was 14.3 (SD = 2.6), 13.4 (SD = 2.6), 13.9 (SD = 2.6), and 12.3 (SD = 2.4), respectively. The results obtained from univariate analysis did not show a consistent pattern for association between demographic variables and quality of life domains. However, multivariate regression analysis showed that self-reported health condition was the most significant contributing factor to the decreased scores for all domains.
Overall, quality of life scores were found to be low among an Iranian general population and greatly varied by socio-demographic variables. In addition, self-reported health condition was found to be the strongest factor affecting people's quality of life.
评估伊朗一般人群样本的主观生活质量。
这是一项基于人群的研究。使用世界卫生组织生活质量量表简表（WHOQOL-BREF）来衡量生活质量。使用单变量和多变量分析评估社会人口统计学变量与生活质量之间的关系。
共有 1164 人参与了研究。参与者的平均年龄为 37.6（标准差=13.2）岁，生活质量领域的平均得分（身体、心理、社会关系和环境领域）分别为 14.3（标准差=2.6）、13.4（标准差=2.6）、13.9（标准差=2.6）和 12.3（标准差=2.4）。单变量分析的结果显示，人口统计学变量与生活质量领域之间没有一致的关联模式。然而，多元回归分析表明，自我报告的健康状况是所有领域评分下降的最重要因素。
总体而言，伊朗一般人群的生活质量评分较低，且受社会人口统计学变量的影响差异很大。此外，自我报告的健康状况被发现是影响人们生活质量的最强因素。
