The aim of this study was to determine the correlates of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in community-dwelling older adults in Guadeloupe.
We used the Karukera Study of Aging-Drugs Storage (KASADS), an observational, cross-sectional study on community-dwelling older people living in Guadeloupe. A visual analogue scale ranging from 0 to 100 was used to assess HRQoL.
The study sample consisted of 115 patients aged 65 years or older; 67.8% were women. Participants were 76 (±7.8) years old with a mean HRQoL of 66.2 (±20.3). The correlates of HRQoL were complaints of pain ( < 0.001) and IADL dependency ( = 0.030) after adjustment. We found no significant interactions between HRQoL and other variables such as marital status, socio-educational level and cognitive decline.
Pain and IADL dependency were independently associated with lower HRQoL in community-dwelling older people in Guadeloupe.
本研究旨在确定瓜德罗普岛社区居住的老年人健康相关生活质量（HRQoL）的相关因素。
我们使用了 Karukera 老龄化药物储存研究（KASADS），这是一项针对居住在瓜德罗普岛的社区老年人的观察性、横断面研究。使用 0 到 100 的视觉模拟量表来评估 HRQoL。
研究样本包括 115 名 65 岁或以上的患者；67.8%为女性。参与者年龄为 76（±7.8）岁，平均 HRQoL 为 66.2（±20.3）。调整后，疼痛（<0.001）和 IADL 依赖（=0.030）是 HRQoL 的相关因素。我们没有发现 HRQoL 与其他变量（如婚姻状况、社会教育水平和认知能力下降）之间存在显著的交互作用。
疼痛和 IADL 依赖是瓜德罗普岛社区居住的老年人 HRQoL 较低的独立相关因素。
