INTRODUCTION
Elderly people may suffer from the multiple health disorders due to the vulnerability for many physical and mental disturbances. Quality of life in elderly population can be affected by many environmental factors. The aim of this study was aimed to examine the quality of life in elderly people in Tabriz, Iran in 2012.

The participants surveyed in this study were elderly people who were living in the community and come voluntarily to the daily care centers. Validated Persian self-reported version of World Health Organization Quality of Life-BRIEF (WHOQOL-BRIEF) questionnaire including 26 broad and comprehensive questions were used to determine the quality of life in elderly people. Independent t-test and Pearson correlation were used to compare differences and correlation between the total score of quality of life and influential factors.
RESULTS
Total score the quality of life in both genders was 90.75 (13.37) (range between 26-130). Male elderly had slightly high score in the quality of life; however, these differences were not significant. A significant difference was observed between having cardiovascular diseases, respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases, hearing and visual impairments with total score in the quality of life. Also, there was no significant difference between gender and age variables with total score in the quality of life.
CONCLUSION

引言
由于易受多种身心障碍影响，老年人可能患有多种健康问题。老年人群的生活质量会受到许多环境因素的影响。本研究旨在调查2012年伊朗大不里士老年人的生活质量。
方法
本横断面研究对184名年龄≥60岁的老年人（男性=97；女性=87）进行。本研究中接受调查的参与者是居住在社区且自愿前往日托中心的老年人。使用经过验证的波斯文自我报告版世界卫生组织生活质量简表（WHOQOL-BRIEF）问卷，其中包括26个广泛而全面的问题，以确定老年人的生活质量。采用独立t检验和Pearson相关性分析来比较生活质量总分与影响因素之间的差异和相关性。
结果
两性的生活质量总分均为90.75（13.37）（范围在26-130之间）。老年男性在生活质量方面得分略高；然而，这些差异并不显著。在患有心血管疾病、呼吸道和胃肠道疾病、听力和视力障碍与生活质量总分之间观察到显著差异。此外，性别和年龄变量与生活质量总分之间也没有显著差异。
