Objectives：The aim of this study was to examine the physical, psychological and social factors influencing quality of life of the elderly living alone in Daegu. Methods：A stratified random cluster sample of 625 community-dwelling old people living alone in Daegu completed a questionnaire through face-to-face interview. Quality of life was evaluated using the World Health Organization quality of life-brief(WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire. Depression was measured using the geriatric depression scale short form-Korea(GDSSF-K). The other data including sociodemographic characteristics, emotional and economical support, perceived health status and activity of daily living were collected. The data were analyzed using independent t-test, ANOVA, multiple regression analysis to evaluate the relationship between quality of life and other variables. Results：Subjects were composed of 107 male(17.1%) and 518 female(82.9%) and their mean age was 75.5 (SD= 5.8). Multiple regression analysis showed that quality of life was significantly associated with depression, psychiatric illness, educational level, income level, presence of caregiver, and whether living alone was a voluntary decision. Depression was the most influential factor affecting quality of life. Participants suffering more severe depression had lower quality of life. Conclusion：Present study suggested that the quality of life in the elderly living alone should be recognized in a multiple perspective ways considering psychosocial approach as well as clinical symptoms. We also would like to emphasize the comprehensive multidisciplinary team approach for improvement of the quality of life in elderly people who live alone.
