Abstract:
This study was to investigate the relationship between chronic diseases and quality of life among community residents beyond 60.From September 2005 to November 2005,1731 residents aged 60-89 were surveyed with a general information form and the the MOS 36 item short from health survey (SF-36).The results showed that the subjects with no chronic diseases seemed to have higher scores,while SF-36 values dropped to some extent when the number of diseases increased.In comparison with diabetic or hypertensive subjects,those with heart disease had lower SF-36 scores for all items,except for general conditions and physical capability.
