Abstract
Abstract Background: This study examines the influence of psychological well-being (PWB) on the quality of life (QOL) among elderly individuals, considering demographic factors such as gender and urban vs. rural residence. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 255 individuals aged 65–75 years from urban and rural areas of New Delhi, India. PWB was assessed using the Psychological Well-Being Scale, and QOL was measured using the WHOQOL-BREF. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, and regression analysis. Results: A significant positive relationship was found between PWB and QOL, with PWB accounting for 14% of the variance in QOL (P < 0.001). Urban males showed the highest PWB and QOL scores, whereas rural females exhibited the lowest scores. Conclusions: PWB is an important predictor of QOL among older adults. Addressing demographic disparities in well-being is crucial for designing effective interventions tailored to diverse populations.
