摘要：

Aim: The objective of this study was to assess the quality of life (QOL) and its relation to sociodemographic factors among elderly living in Tehran. Methods: A descriptive/correlational study was conducted. The sample consisted of 5600 people aged 60 years or older from 11 districts of Tehran. QOL was measured with the 36-item short form questionnaire. Results: QOL was positively associated with education levels, having previous state jobs and being employees, and negatively associated with smoking and having disease. Compared to men, women had lower scores for overall QOL and its dimensions. Conclusion: Sociodemographic inequalities, smoking and having diseases should be the main targets for improving the QOL in the elderly population.
