The study aim was to explore the influence of socioeconomic factors on activities of daily living and quality of life of Thai seniors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"item abstract\"><em>Design and methods:<\/em>\u00a0Using randomised cluster sampling, one province was sampled from each of the Central, North, Northeast and South regions, then one subdistrict sampled in each province, and a household survey used to identify the sample of 1678 seniors aged 60 years and over. The Mann-Whitney U-test and binary logistic regression were used to compare and determine the association of socioeconomic variables on quality of life and activities of daily living.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"item abstract\"><em>Results<\/em>: The findings showed that sociodemographic and socioeconomic factors were significantly related to functional capacity of daily living. Education levels were strongly associated with daily life activities, with 3.55 adjusted ORs for respondents with secondary school education. Gender was important, with females comprising 61% of dependent respondents but only 47% of independent respondents. Seniors with low incomes were more likely to be anxious in the past, present and future and less likely to accept death in the late stage, with 1.40 Adjusted ORs (95%CI: 1.02-1.92), and 0.72 (95%CI: 0.53-0.98), respectively. However, they were more likely to engage in social activities.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"item abstract\"><em>Conclusions<\/em>: While socioeconomic factors strongly indicated the functional capacity to live independently, a good quality of life also required other factors leading to happiness and life satisfaction.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4081\/jphr.2017.862 Ratana Somrongthong College of Public Health Sciences, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand.
