he purpose of the present study was to assess the predictive relationship of biopsychosocial factors (viz.,
health and lifestyle, self-esteem, self-efficacy, and social support) and quality of life among the elderly in
Pakistan. The sample size for the study included 557 participants of age 60 year and above and was selected by
using a convenient sampling. Data were collected through WHOQoL-Brief, Health and Lifestyle Questionnaire,
General Self-Efficacy Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and Berlin Social Support Scale. The results
indicated that there were significant positive correlations among the biopsychosocial factors and quality of life.
In addition, hierarchical regression analysis assessed the predictive relationship between the biopsychosocial
factors and quality of life after controlling demographic variables (viz., age, income, gender, living place,
children, disease and marital status) that accounted for 27 percent variance in the quality of life of elderly in
Pakistan. Implications of the study are discussed.
