Predictors of health-related quality of life in older adults over a course of twelve years – Results from a large population-based study using a machine learning approach
Somatic symptom burden and bio-psycho-social health care needs emerged as key predictors of both, physical and mental HRQoL in older adults. These variables may be important to consider when developing future interventions aimed to improve HRQoL in older adults, and could also be relevant for policies concerned with successful aging.
