Elderly people are at substantial risk for this condition since older adults with Type 2 DM are linked to an increase in mortality and complications when compared to young diabetics and non-diabetics in the same age group.Nearly 19 million individuals, or 26.9% of all individuals in this age range, had diabetes in 2010.The most crucial factor in assessing a person's level of health (QOL) is their quality of life.This prospective, cross-sectional, observational study began after receiving ethical approval.There were 182 patients in this study.The chi-square test was employed to compare categorical data, while the unpaired t-test was needed to compare normally distributed continuous data.Physical health domain I of the WHOQOL-BREF domains exhibits a substantial positive connection with SAB, AUT, DAD, INT, and OLD of the WHOQOL-OLD aspects, with correlation coefficients of (r= 708, p= <0.001), (r= 295, p= <0.001), (r= 258, p= <0.001), (r= 240, p= 0.001), and (r= 708, p= <0.001), respectively.The WHOQOL-BREF was shown to have a significantly negative correlation with both the duration of diabetes mellitus and ADS (ρ= -0.194, p= 0.009) and (ρ= -0.339, p< 0.001), respectively).The association between age, BMI, waist-hip ratio, HbA1c, FPG, SBP, and DBP was not shown to be statistically significant.The WHOQOL-BREF score was significantly inversely correlated with the duration of diabetes mellitus and ADS.Age, HbA1c, and WHOQOL-BREF score were all negatively correlated with ADS score in a manner that is significant.
