Background: Chronic respiratory conditions are a serious public health issue in India. Chronic respiratory diseases have a significant effect on patients' quality of life (QOL). Understanding the factors influencing health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is essential to improving patient care and treatment strategies. Objectives: The purpose of our study was to assess the HRQOL of individuals with chronic respiratory conditions and to determine the associated factors. Methodology: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital's outpatient pulmonary medicine department. 428 participants who were selected via convenience sampling were added to the study after meeting the inclusion criteria. Results: Our research shows that patients with long-term respiratory conditions have lower HRQOL. A strong association was found with advancing age, occupation, smoking status, and comorbidity with poor HRQOL in these patients. Conclusion: Our research concluded that several factors might impact a patient's HRQOL with respiratory disease. Determining these factors in advance can help identify individuals who are more likely to have poorer HRQOL and make interventions that could improve patient outcomes.
