The quality of life (QoL) of older adults is an increasingly important concern as the global population ages. This study assessed the QoL of elderly individuals. It examined differences across selected demographic variables, including sex and civil status. Using a descriptive research design, data were collected via a structured questionnaire covering the physical, psychological, and social dimensions of well-being. Findings indicated that respondents generally experienced a high quality of life, reflecting overall satisfaction in various aspects of their lives. Minimal differences were observed between male and female respondents, suggesting that sex does not significantly influence perceived well-being. Similarly, both single and married respondents reported comparable levels of QoL, indicating that civil status may not be a strong determinant. However, living arrangements significantly influenced QoL. Living with children and living with relatives or significant others were positive predictors of higher QoL. The study underscores the importance of social support, community engagement, and accessible health services, and recommends strengthening programs that promote active aging, participation, and overall well-being.
