To assess if there is an association between socioeconomic status and quality of life, functional status and markers of aging, we studied 86 women aged 73 ± 7 years, who answered the WHO Qol Bref quality of life survey. Mini mental state examination, timed up and go test, 12 minutes' walk, hand grip and quadriceps strength, dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), carotid intima-media thickness and telomere length in peripheral leukocytes were measured. Successful aging was defined as a walking speed, handgrip strength, appendicular lean body mass, timed up and go and minimental values above cutoff points for disability. Participants with successful aging had a higher quality of life score and were more likely to live in rich municipalities. There was a positive correlation between telomere length, right handgrip strength and total fat free mass. Therefore, there is an association between socioeconomic status, successful aging and quality of life.
为了评估社会经济地位与生活质量、功能状态和衰老标志物之间是否存在关联，我们研究了86名年龄在73±7岁的女性，她们回答了世界卫生组织生活质量简表（WHO Qol Bref）。测量了简易精神状态检查表、计时起立行走测试、12分钟步行、握力和股四头肌力量、双能X线吸收法（DEXA）、颈动脉内膜中层厚度以及外周血白细胞端粒长度。成功衰老定义为步行速度、握力、去脂瘦体重、计时起立行走和简易精神状态值高于残疾临界点。成功衰老的参与者生活质量得分更高，且更有可能居住在富裕的直辖市。端粒长度、右手握力与总去脂体重之间存在正相关。因此，社会经济地位、成功衰老与生活质量之间存在关联。
