Abstract

The objective of this research is to analyze several predictors of quality of life in aging people in different European regions. This is a cross-sectional study with the sixth wave of the SHARE project (Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe). Several sociodemographic and economic indicators were utilized, as well as the CASP-12 (QoL), EURO-D (depressive symptoms) and SPHEU (self-perceived health). Analysis were performed by structural equation modelling techniques. Ten multigroup models were estimated. Results showed significative difference in the predictive capacity in all variables except for chronic diseases. The best predictor of quality of life in all European regions was absence of depression, followed by income, and self-perceived health. No significative differences among the predictive capacity of the number of chronic diseases was found among the assessed groups, although, perceiving ones’ health as good and being able to make ends meet were heavy predictors of quality of life.

欧洲老龄人口的生活质量预测因素：一个多组模型

本研究的目的是分析欧洲不同地区老年人生活质量的几种预测因素。这是第六波SHARE项目（欧洲健康、老龄化和退休调查）的横断面研究。使用了几个社会人口和经济指标，以及CASP-12（生活质量）、EURO-D（抑郁症状）和SPHEU（自我感知健康）。通过结构方程建模技术进行分析。估计了10个多组模型。结果显示，除慢性病外，所有变量的预测能力均存在显著差异。在所有欧洲地区，生活质量的最佳预测指标是没有抑郁症，其次是收入和自我感知的健康状况。尽管认为自己的健康状况良好和入不敷出是生活质量的重要预测因素，但被评估组对慢性病数量的预测能力没有显著差异。
