Chronic Illness and Quality of Life 5 Years After Displacement Among Rohingya Refugees in Bangladesh
This study found that chronic illnesses were associated with all domains of QOL among Rohingya refugees, particularly those with musculoskeletal disorders, cancer, and multimorbid conditions. This heightened vulnerability may contribute to poor QOL in this population. By uncovering these disparities, the study lays the groundwork for targeted interventions and policies aligned with the United Nations' goal of leaving no one behind in sustainable development efforts.
