Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the association between Quality of Life (QOL) and independent factors, emphasizing Socio Economic Status (SES) in northwestern Iran. A population-based cross-sectional study was performed within the Persian Traffic safety and health Cohort in 2020. Participants were chosen using stratified random sampling method. The majority of participants (69%) were aged between 30 and 65. Around half of the participants were males (54.44%). Most of the female respondents were categorized as very low and medium levels of SES Based on multiple linear regression analysis, the QOL among females was lower compared to males (β: - 0.92, 95% CI - 1.82 to - 0.22). There was a negative association between SES and QOL; individuals with low and very low levels of SES had a lower QOL than those with a medium level of SES (β: - 4.38, 95% CI - 5.9 to - 2.86) (β: - 2.65, 95% CI - 4.08 to - 1.22). The current study highlights that higher SES and educational levels are positively associated with higher QOL. Conversely, older age, females, and widowed individuals are linked with lower QOL.
本研究旨在评估伊朗西北部地区生活质量(QOL)与独立因素之间的关系,重点是社会经济地位(SES)。这项基于人口的横断面研究是在 2020 年波斯交通安全与健康队列中进行的。研究人员采用分层随机抽样法选出。大多数参与者(69%)的年龄在 30 岁至 65 岁之间。约一半的参与者为男性(54.44%)。根据多元线性回归分析,女性的 QOL 低于男性(β:- 0.92,95% CI - 1.82 至 - 0.22)。社会经济地位与 QOL 之间呈负相关;社会经济地位较低和非常低的个体的 QOL 低于社会经济地位中等的个体(β:- 4.38,95% CI - 5.9 至 - 2.86)(β:- 2.65,95% CI - 4.08 至 - 1.22)。本研究强调,较高的社会经济地位和教育水平与较高的 QOL 呈正相关。相反,年龄越大、女性和丧偶者的 QOL 越低。
