These women, residing in urban areas of Thailand such as Bangkok, Nonthaburi, Nakhon Pathom, Pathum Thani, Samut Prakan, and Samut Sakhon, completed a survey questionnaire with the assistance of health volunteers during the COVID-19 pandemic, between October 2021 and April 2022. The study revealed that 55.85% of participants reported experiencing poor quality of life (QOL) during the pandemic. Stepwise logistic regression analysis identified several significant associations with QOL. Factors linked to a poorer QOL included lower levels of well-being index (odds ratio [OR] 7.89, 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.16–19.75, <i>P</i> &lt; 0.01), reduced physical activity (OR 2.72, 95% CI 1.62–4.54, <i>P</i> &lt; 0.01), and the severity of menopausal symptoms (OR 1.94, 95% CI 1.42–2.66, <i>P</i> &lt; 0.01).
